everytime i watch this video i start to bawl my eyes out. you can tell from just the way he pronounces those urdu words how much that qawwali means to him and how much time he has devoted listening to nusrat fateh ali khan. craziest white boy to ever do it. ❤️ jeff buckley ❤️ nusrat fateh ali khan

I accidentally caught Jeff at Sin-E' during his residency there (we had no idea who he was -- I'm thinking he was barely siged at that point). "You saw him in the Park right? That's why you mispronounced his name. It's Nusrat. He's my Elvis. That's my guy. I listen to him every day.... 'I saw you at Nusrat, right? Six from the left?'.... I'll blow you away with my acumen." Jeff was so offhandedly funny (mostly at his own expense). Nusrat is well worth a discovery for those who haven't listened, it's the most amazing praise music ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs7tN0A7RC8

coreydubrowa that is actually so INSAAANE that you had such an encounter with him woooow and even more crazy that you know about nusrat you’re now officially one of the coolest person on this app. i listen to nusrat like everyday and the qawwali you linked is one of my favv ever can’t believe someone here knows about him and qawwali in general that is soooo cool. how’d you get into qawwali or nusrat ?? this song nusrat did with michael brook is also one of my fav (like top 3) https://open.spotify.com/track/3zthhGnvubjpItG1KDe3GU?si=dd0cf720e15c47f8

sony I actually discovered Nusrat before Jeff (correctly!) flagged his work for the indie kids. A rock critic fan I wrote with/respected adored him and made it easy for me to “get” what he was all about.

coreydubrowa that is so amazing this makes me genuinely so happy people enjoying his work and fully getting it the meaning behind it. also if youre into qawwali you could also into aziz mian he’s also a very highly respected qawwali just like nusrat
