Reliving Nusrat Forever ! – Presenting the Exclusive Nusrat Store
It’s 68th Birth Anniversary of Nusrat Saheb. His presence has only enlarged. It was just last year on this day that google tributed him with a doodle on it’s home page calling him ” the voice that helped bring “world music” to the world”. This year we wanted a similar gift & there was no better time to reify our long thought idea of an Exclusive Nusrat Store , where fans can buy Artwork, Clothing, Books, & Memorabilia. It’s time to relive Nusrat in a whole new way.
To begin with we have added two paintings by the most expressive artist who has painted NFAK ever. You can pre-order them now & pay when the painting are released next week. We have also added a t-shirts and literature section; will be releasing them this month too.
Why Qawwali needed NFAK – Yahoo Screen , ANI
Late Qawwali icon Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, who is also popularly known as “Shahenshah-e-Qawwali”, can be easily termed as the one who single handedly made Qawwali a popular genre of music world-wide. Continue reading
When I hear you sing, Oh Nusrat
Oh Nusrat!
I have not seen Allah or Muhammad or Ali
Nor have seen Krishna
Neither have I heard the Bansuri of Mohan
And yet when I hear you sing Oh Nusrat
I am convinced that there must have been Allah
& Muhammad & Ali
And Krishna
& the maddening Bansuri of Mohan
I have not heard Tansen & Baiju Bawra & Tana Riri
Nor have I seen Deepak Raag lighting up lamps
and Raag Megh bringing thunder & rains
And yet when I hear you sing Oh Nusrat,
I am sure one can ignite lamps with a melody
And bring thunder and rains with another.
They say science can measure the depth of oceans,
The speed of light and the distance between the planets and stars.
They can determine the life of a solar system
And yet when I hear you sing Oh Nusrat,
I realize, how futile it is to define
the depth of your voice,
the purity of your devotion, the completeness of your bhava,
the speed at which you touch and move hearts,
the Karuna that makes us all weep as you sing
Oh Nusrat you are just unfathomable, immeasurable, ‘Befaam’
Oh Nusrat Please come back or call us wherever you are
Cos for sure we will wait for either of them till the end of time.
