As an ethnomusicologist, one of the great joys of my life is discovering new artists performing Music in different styles.

I want to share some of that joy with our readers, so each day for the next ten days, I will be posting a link to a Song from a different country.

Today’s song is from Pakistan, a country near and dear to my heart.

It is by the legendary Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997). Known for his extraordinary vocal range, Khan is remembered as the king of qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music.

In his lifetime, Khan obtained fame both in Pakistan and worldwide.

Enjoy!
