Annual Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Memorial show, 25th edition.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, 25 years since you slipped the bonds of this mortal existence! How I miss you dearly! You remain forever peerless, how I miss you dearly! Thank you for the enormous amount of recordings you left us in your short life, how I miss you dearly!
Today, we bookend the show with two lengthy renditions of poems by Bulleh Shah (1680-1757), perhaps Nusrat's favourite poet.

Looking back through my playlists, I see that aside from Cheikh Lo's contribution, I have rarely touched all the other wonderful pieces on the 2 CD set "Hommage a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan" which came out in 1998 a year after Nusrat's death. We will hear a few of the other gorgeous tributes on this album. |
