About Nusrat Ali Khan:
Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997) was a Pakistani singer, songwriter, and music director. He was primarily a qawwali singer, also called the "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali." He is considered by The New York Times to be the greatest qawwali singer of his generation. He was known for his vocal abilities and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours.

He is widely credited with introducing qawwali music to international audiences. He had his first public performance at 15. He became the head of the family qawwali party in 1971. He brought his unique style of Sargam, Khayal, and Rhythm to his family's legacy. Oriental Star Agencies, Birmingham, England, in the early 1980s, signed him. He released movie scores and albums in Europe, India, Japan, Pakistan, and the U.S.

In 1971, after the death of his uncle Mubarak Ali Khan, Khan became the official leader of the family qawwali party, and the party became known as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan & Party. His first public performance as the leader of the qawwali party was at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organized by Radio Pakistan, known as Jashn-e-Baharan. He sang mainly in Urdu and Punjabi and occasionally in Persian, Braj Bhasha, and Hindi.

He collaborated and experimented with Western artists, becoming a well-known world music artist. In the summer of 1985, Khan performed at the London World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival. He also performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York, in 1989, earning him admiration from the American audience. He toured extensively, performing in over 40 countries. In addition to popularising qawwali music, he profoundly impacted contemporary South Asian popular music, including Pakistani pop, Indian pop, and Bollywood music.

Throughout his career, he collaborated with many south Asian singers, such as Alam Lohar, Noor Jehan, A. R. Rahman, Asha Bhosle, Javed Akhtar, and Lata angeshkar. He contributed the song "Gurus of Peace" to the 1997 album Vande Mataram, composed by A. R. Rahman, and released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of India's independence. As a posthumous tribute, Rahman later released an album titled Gurus of Peace, including "Allah Hoo" sung by him. Rahman's 2007 song "Tere Bina" for the film Guru was also composed as a tribute to Khan.
