Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Night Song

The potent relationship between Qawwali legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Canadian rock musician Michael Brook reached compelling emotional heights on this Grammy nominated sequel to Mustt Mustt. Once again the partnership tests the emotional boundaries of the human voice. It wasn’t made in  Detroit or Memphis, but this truly is soul music. Originally released in 1996, Night Song was the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s second collaboration with the Canadian producer Michael Brook, following the success of Mustt Mustt in 1990. It was also his final work for the label before his premature death in 1997. The album was a fusion of Western and Asian musical influences, and upon its release Billboard called it “an album for the ages, solidifying Khan’s stature as one of the world’s pre-eminent singers”. Time Out called it “the best world music album… ever!” and Mojo listed the album in their Top 40 albums of 1996.
