パキスタンのハザラ人歌手、ソングライター
The year 1990 was a pivotal one for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Since his appearance at Womad festival five years prior, the Pakistani qawwali singer had been gaining notoriety in the west for the raw, buffeting power of his remarkable voice and his nimble, rapid-fire vocalisations – often within the same line of ancient Sufi poetry. In 1989, he began to depart from Sufi tradition, improvising vocals for Peter Gabriel’s soundtrack to Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ, and in 1990 would release Mustt Mustt, a landmark qawwali fusion record that blended Sufi poems with producer Michael Brook’s dark palette of slap bass, reverb-laden percussion and electric guitar.
