Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (نصرت فتح علی خان) (October 13, 1948 -- August 16, 1997) was a world-renowned musician from Pakistan, primarily a singer of Qawwali, the devotional music of the Sufis (a mystical tradition within Islam). Ustad Nusrat is credited with taking this traditional musical art form to an international level and creating a new generation of Qawwali lovers both in Pakistan and around the world.He featured in Time magazine's 2006 list of "Asian Heroes.
Traditionally, Qawwali has been a family business. Nusrat's family (originally from Afghanistan) has an unbroken tradition of performing qawwali for the last 600 years. Among other honorary titles bestowed upon him, NusratFatehAliKhan was called Shahenshah-e-Qawwali, meaning The Emperor of Qawwals.
