Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

If you're white and you know about Nusrat, it's probably because you've heard this guy claim "Nusrat is my Elvis" on the live album he recorded here in 1993.

He's the most famous Pakistani and Sufi singer of all time. And while he's especially renowned for his devotional music, Qawwali, Mustt Mustt (1990) represents his first shot at Qawwali/Western fusion.

He's not saying believe in God, but you better believe that when God spins this album he turns up the bass and listens in flac.
