So you all might be knowing about the famous KCRW “Radio Station” , NFAK himself made a couple visits here. Here is a story from KRCW’s DJ, Tom Schnabel about how NFAK’s music was used during birth of Anil Dewan’s son (KRCW’s Webmaster).. read along.. Continue reading

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Live At National Theatre Tokyo

The following Songs were recorded during NFAK’s first visit to Tokyo in 1987. He was invited to perform at the prestigious National Theatre first for a series of performances & later at the King’s Residence, who was deeply moved by NFAK’s music. The response & respect NFAK got at Japan, moved NFAK himself, making it his favourite visiting country.

So here are the audio recordings of the concert. Listen to Haq Ali Ali Especially (you might not notice but NFAK sang it in with a five notes scale, the usual Japanese music trend). And here we go:

Tracks:

Allah Hoo
Haq Ali Ali (Ali Maula Ali Maula)
Shamus Ud Doha BAdar Ud Doja
Allah Mohammad Char Yar
