It all starts with the voice. At turns heavy and hulkingly powerful, yet agile and pointedly
precise, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's vocal not only embodies the tradition of the Sufi
qawwali but it is the emotive essence of singing itself. Descended from a 600-year-old
lineage of qawwali singers, Nusrat's voice has been singularly responsible for spreading
the devotional music of Sufism to the world, ever since he became the leader of his
family's musical group in 1971. It is a formidable heritage for an ancient song.
Originating in 10th Century Iran, qawwali is the music of Sufism, a mystical branch of
Islam. Characterised by states of musical ecstasy and sophistication, qawwali singers are
the mouthpiece of divine power, tasked with capturing the audience's attention and
heightening their consciousness to receive a spiritual message.
Chain of Light is an album of previously unheard recordings of the singer and his
qawwal party made at Real World Studios in 1990, whilst he was at the height of his
vocal capabilities. Carefully restored from the original analogue tapes, this 'lost album' of
traditional qawwals includes a pristine recording of the much-loved classic 'Ya Allah Ya
Rehman', as well the only known performance of 'Ya Gaus Ya Meeran'.
The late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice is universally recognised as one of the greatest in
musical history and he was key in bringing the Qawwali music tradition to the Western
world. Khan's legacy has enraptured millions across the globe with his magnificent and
haunting voice. In his lifetime he collaborated with many Western musicians, including
Peter Gabriel, Eddie Vedder and Michael Brook. His vocals appeared on soundtracks to
films directed by Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Shekhar Kapur, and Tim Robbins.
