Shhhh!! You don't talk when nusrat sahb sings!

Its like asking a high school student to judge a PhD Doctor. no offense to Carl.

Dude, the background singers are masters, and they are being led by a grandmaster.

If you are a singing coach , ustad sahab is music himself .

You can recognise Nustars voice if he just says Hello in a crowd of million people. That’s his texture. May his soul Rest in peace. Love from India.

This style of singing is called qawwali and Nusrat was known as the "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali" or "Supreme Ruler of Qawwali". His vocal range was well over four octaves and he was extremely prolific. The group surrounding him are not background singers. To his left is Farrukh, his younger brother and widely regarded as on par with Nusrat in vocals as well as the primary composer and arranger of the songs sung by the group. Farrukh's son is Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who accompanied the group in Nusrat's later years. The other men are his students and various instrumentalists who had been part of the qawwali tradition in one way or another for generations. Qawwali is a Sufi tradition where songs are used to express one's love for the divine, and frequently turn on a phrase or sentence (a motif, as you called it) that is then expanded and expounded on in various ways, both technical and emotional. The way qawwali concerts (and most classical concerts in India) are structured lend themselves to a constant call-and-response, also called jugalbandi with respect to instrumentalists. This experimentation creates a constant tension that can take a basic raaga (scale) or taala (time signature) and stretch it out into a 20-minute piece that doesn't feel long at all. That way it showcases both the technical expertise of the artists and also keeps the audience engaged - especially when they know what taalas and raagas are being used. South Asian classical music (in all the different genres and subdivisions) is very cerebral and emotional at the same time. From a very early age, most of us kids who are 2nd generation Indians, Pakistanis, Bengalis, etc. grew up associating classical music with dance and/or instruments (tabla, mridangam, harmonium - the drone that was being played in the front, veena, sarangi, and so many more). The emotional appreciation for music is intrinsically tied into the cerebral aspect - the appreciation of pitch control, the ability to pick out the complexities of a solo percussion piece, or the technical excellence shown by the total mastery over a certain raaga. That's why many Indians, NRIs (nonresident Indians), and desi expats (AKA yours truly) have such highly tuned ears as we show you in the comments. Not all of us can sing like Nusrat, Shankar, or Shreya, but we can all appreciate both exactly how perfect and exacting their performances are as well as how moving they are to the soul - and exactly how much it takes to convey both at the same time.

Only man who is beloved to both indians and pakistanies... Sign of unity...

The whole group used to practice for 7-8 hours daily. No wonder he is “Ustaad”, means “The Master”. We miss his presence in this world ! Much love and respect.

He is a gem of Pakistan. Tons of love from India.

It's not nusrat fateh ali khan .. it's "USTAAD" nusrat fateh ali khan.... Love from India...brother

...feels so lucky that we can understand everything..wrna is goore jaisa haal hota

If I take the liberty to say: All singers combined in the world throughout history is just the drop of ocean that's inside Nusrat Sahab.

Nusrat is the first man to unite Bangladesh, Pakistan and India together 💜 may his soul rest in peace

When u r heartbroken...it is said...who needs drugs when u have nusrat...i wish u could understand what he is saying

Fun fact : Nusrat saheb used to practice 10 hours of singing everyday

There is Beginner Learner Singer Experts Artists Legends God's of Music And then there is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Saab ❤️🙏🏻👑

People in the comment section really need to relax. He doesn't know what Qawwali is and who NFAK is. He is just trying his best. He's a vocal coach. He judging it like a vocal coach. I think he's quite impressed of NFAK.

The instrument he is playing is called a Harmonium and a fun fact, the guy in a white waste coat sitting next to Nusrat (on his left) is Fakhar Ali khan, Father of Rahat Fateh Ali.

Its very sad that carl cannot understand the lyrics while listening, they are bliss.

There is neither a being living nor dead who can rival his greatness❤️

When we use the title 'ustad' before the name...we don't even take their name from our mouth as a mark of respect...we hold our ears for begging forgiveness... When ustad sings, we shut our mouth and only listen...we go speechless...

Just smoke a big blunt and close yours eyes, sit back and enjoy the journey.

Every time you sir just "Nusrat", it was painful as well as frustrating... He's a legend , Sehenshah-e- Qawali(i.e. King of Qawwali) that's what he is referred to and his proper name Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab.(Ustaad defines high level master or teacher in the world of music). You really need to know the lyrics to fully enjoy and feel this song.. One of the best song ever created on this planet. Respect for Ustaad Nusrat Sahab

He is much bigger than countries, boundaries and religion... If there is any God exists, it's in his throat... RIP Ustad Nusrat Sahab... You will be always remembered... ❤️

You would be surprised at the level of respect people have for NFAK in Pakistan and India.. They even avoid taking his name and refer to him by his title 'Ustad', which literally means 'Master'. There will be no one better than him in the business.

You are judging Ustad Nusrat is like that a street soccer player teaching Ronaldo football abilities 😂😂

you would be astonished knowing this track "halka halka saroor" is sung in 26 versions with different tones by USTAD NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN ❤

You'll never understand the connect that we feel while he is singing. It feels out of this world if u understand what he is saying..♥️♥️ In tears🙏🙏

This video is of 1985 , Event in Birmingham... You can imagine 34 years back how Ustad Sahab nailed it 😍😍😍😍

Loved it. This is actually a toned-down performance of Nusrat. Checkout something where he goes all guns blazing.

He sang these qawwalis about 40+ yrs ago. Ustad Ji's singing and lyrics were say ahead of his time❤️

Oo fools you think he is singing,No it's his way of crying....❤💔

Hey bro he is beyond your reaction.... Legend you are listening to.... Love from HINDUSTAN .

RIP Nusrat fateh ali Khan he's always be the legend of Pakistan 🇵🇰

A love for ustad Nusrat fateh ali khan from India🙂🙂🙂💚💚💚💚

English Lyrics 👇 "This mild intoxication Is because of your eyes That taught me drinking Your love and your longing Your intoxicating glances Made me a drunkard What wine, what intoxication All this is [due to] your kindness You served me [wine] with your eyes such That I have forgotten myself The whole world is ecstatic, the order of the world is ecstatic The day is ecstatic, so is dawn and so is evening The glass, cup and wine are all ecstatic Because of your intoxicating eyes, everyone and everything is ecstatic Of all the wines you have in your tavern Serve me a little from your eyes I understand your alluring glances That cause intoxication, instead of wine Only your love is my life Neither I know prayers nor ablutions I prostate whenever you come in front of me I am a follower of love since the beginning of life [and] I do not care for piousness or irreligiousness My head has found your house Now I do not search for the mosque My devotion is such devotion That is not bound by the mosque and the temple When I see you once By God, it is no less than a prayer Only your love is my life On the day of judgment, I would rise with the scars of your love Your image would be clinging to my heart on that day Because Only your love is my life Your remembrance is my prayer [and] your wish is my wish This is the miracle of my frenzy That where ever I prostrated A mosque was made there On whom would you inflict pain after me? It is not nice to play with the emotions of sufferers It is not good to laugh at the mourners I lost my heart in [just in] play O my heart is gone! For God's sake change your glances, else My heart is gone I pray to God that you also fall in love with someone And suffer in separation with hands on your heart My heart is gone I lost my heart just in fun And got the measure of falling in love I cry because my heart is lost [but] why do you laugh, what did you get? Okay then….. To whom would you inflict pain after me? How would you take me out of your life? Where would you cast those arrow-like glances? Value my friendship [that] helped you to gain murderous charm Watch me, O my desire of life! I am the same suffering "Anwar" You were not even in your senses at that time [so] don't argue with me in such a manner [but] offer thanks to me That I helped you articulate yourself This mild intoxication Is because of your eyes That taught me drinking ♥

Some people are beyond reviewing, let alone by someone who can’t understand what this man means to South Asia.

Original and Translation Ye jo halka halka suroor hai This slight exhilaration that exists Yeh teri nazar ka kusoor hai Is the fault of your eyes Ke sharaab peena sikha diya It taught me how to get intoxicated Ke sharaab peena sikha diya It taught me how to get intoxicated Ye jo halka halka suroor hai This slight exhilaration that exists Ye teri nazar ka kusoor hai It is the fault of your eyes Ke sharaab peena sikha diya It taught me how to get intoxicated Ke sharaab peena sikha diya It taught me how to get intoxicated Tere pyaar ne teri chaah ne My love for you Teri behki behki nigaah ne Your intoxicating eyes Mujhe ek sharaabi bana diya Have made an alcoholic out of me Ke sharaab peena sikha diya It taught me how to get intoxicated Sharaab kaisi, Khumaar kaisa What is alcohol, what is intoxication Yeh sab tumhari nawazishen hain It is all your generosity Pilayi hai kiss nazar se tu ne With what look in your eyes, did you feed it to me Keh mujh ko apni khabar nahin hai That I have lost all sense of me Tere pyaar ne teri chah ne My love for you Teri behki behki nigaah ne Your intoxicating eyes Mujhe sharabi bana diya… Have turned an alcoholic out of me Ke sharaab peena sikha diya It taught me how to get intoxicated Tera piyaar hai meri zindagi Your love is my life

This man was a real legend !

i appreciate you did a reaction, but this style of singing is way above your knowledge my friend. its not only about the music but most about the lyrics. till you don't understand the lyrics, you will never understand and enjoy the qawwali ..

Yeh jo halka halka suroor hai .. this light intoxication I have .. is due to ur eyes .. what the poet means is I was non drinker... but your eyes gave me a taste of alcohol and now I am full blown addict of getting drunk .. in simple words extremely smitten by your beauty

Guys stop roasting carl at least he tried to react

You can't judge him... He is legend 🙏🏻🙏🏻

And my voice squeaks just by shouting and I can't speak normally for 2 days again😂 Nusrat is legend🔥

It means , “THIS LITTLE BIT MILD, THIS MILD, THIS MILD, THIS MILD INTOXICATION IS BECAUSE OF YOUR EYES.”

Sir, i really appreciate you reating to HIM but its not just his voice that makes HIM what he is.........you really need to Understand what each word means ............we listen to him when we are depressed,happy,when we need motivation,or when tensed .............everytime we listen to HIM we experience goosebumps ..............please react to the videos having subtitles

He is Legend😍 He is father of music industry He also gave two sound track to hollywood

Just one suggestion, when reacting to "sufi" or classical from India or Pakistan, please dont talk when they are singing. If you want to comment on something you spotted find a right spot to "stop" and then speak. (I wouldn't stop the video though). Reason I am saying this is because, these genres are to create trance, a whole aura of divine. When you talk over it, you lose it. Maybe try and absorb it first, feel it and then stop and comment on it. I like the way you break things down. Good job. :)

Nfak was born in Pakistan...but his music was for everyone and forever.....

It's not just his singing that's legendary. The lyrics are heart-piercing too. I wish I could make you understand bc you're just touching the tip of the iceberg here.

You are only mesmerized by his singing and waves in his voice and the way he is pronouncing the letters. But I wish you could understand his lyrics and the way he is defining his love for the beloved. It is out of this world bro. The way he is linking his state of mind with the beauty of his beloved is mind blowing man. The way he take us for a ride who understand this language, you can’t understand the feeling man. This is anti depressant dose right there

"Ye jo halka halka suroor hai" This gentle peaceful feeling "Ye teri nazar ka kusoor hai" It's because of your gaze on me "Ke sharaab peena sikha diya" It's made me drink alcohol, or it's made me want to drink to cope with the feeling, or recreate it I guess? Because he's chasing that high (which is a big deal in our culture, because alcohol is strictly forbidden and illegal)

Honestly, this is just normal performance of Nusrat Fateh ali khan, means he is not pushing too high. Seems hes just warming up. There many other videos in which he uses high notes evry 10 seconds.

Ye jo halka halka suroor hai- This mild tipsiness that exists. Ye teri nazar ka kasoor hai- It is all the fault of your eyes. Ke sharab peena sikha dia- Taught me to be a drunk. Tere pyar ne tere teri chah ne- your love, your affection Teri behki behki nigah ne- your raving eyes Mujhe ek sharabee bana dia- made me a drunk

No talking while god is singing..it's like been in heaven but staying blind folded..love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳♥️..that guy over there is a music itself..ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali sab jii♥️♥️♥️

Hehehe he is saying that even the background singers are fearless. Even being around 'Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan' Sahab was the highest honour in music.

*I appreciate your effort, but you aren't supposed to react to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, you just listen to it and amaze yourself.*

FATHER OF MUSIC AND YOUR LUCKY BRO THAT YOU GOT TO LISTEN USTAD NUSRETA FETEH ALI KHAN,,

With very respect i donot know the level you are at in terms of coaching but Nusrat vocal ranges and scals had been analyzed,studied by contemprary experts at a very high level ,there had been tremendous amount of work on him in Japan,France and India.he himself was no doubt deserve to be called The Music,truly master of musician in the past century

Qawwali is a different level of commitment my man. Not anyone can justify a Qawalli, the energy, the distinctions, the vulnerability of the voice, the improvisation. Even now when someone tries to cover his qawwali, one person can't do it. There is only one like him. The musicians at the back are his family, masters at their craft.

Saaqi ki har nigah pe bal kha ke pii gaya Dancing to every glance, look of the wine-giver, I drank lehron se khelta hua lehra ke pii gaya while playing with waves I drank playfully ae rehmat e tamam meri har khata maaf oh merciful lord please forgive me for all my wrong doings mein intaha e shauq mein ghabra ke pii gaya That I was afraid but still with great pleasure I drank Peeta bagair izn ye kab thi meri Majaal That I would drink without prerogative when did I have such courage Dar pardah chashm-E-Yaar ki shay pa ke pik gaya With the acquiescence of my lovers veiled eyes , I drank zahid ye meri shokhi e rindana dekhna Oh saint, abstinent look at the mischievousness of my drinking rehmat ko baton baton mein behla ke pii gaya I drank by befriending the forgiveness of god Oodi oodi ghataain aati hain mutribon ki nawaain aati hain Purple clouds are over-cast and the sound of music is all around kis ke gesoo khulain hain saawan mein mehkee mehkee hawain aati hain whose tresses are open in the rainy season the air winds are perfumed aao sehn e chaman mein raqs karain saaz lai kar ghataain aati hain Let us dance in the garden courtyard the clouds brought music with them dekh kar un ki aankanion ko adam After seeing her eyes O adam maikadon ko hayaain aati hain I can feel the ambience winds of tavern paas rehta hai door rehta hai koi dil mein zaroor rehta hai It stays near,close, it stays far,someone surely lives in my heart jab se dekha hai un ki aankon ko Since I have seen her eyes halka halka suroor rehta hai I remain mildly intoxicated, I stay in a state of pleasure Aise rehte hain wo mere dil mein jaise zulmat mein noor rehta hai My beloved lives in my heart like light lives in darkness ab adam ka ye haal hai har waqt mast rehta hai choor rehta hai now this is the state of this man is that all the time he remains intoxicated and ecstatic Ye jo halka halka, ye jo halka halka,ye jo halka halka This little bit mild , this mild , this mild ye jo halka halka suroor hai This mild intoxication ye teri nazar ka qasoor hai is because of your eyes ke sharaab peena sikha diya that taught me drinking Ye teri nazar ka qasoor hai ke sharaab peena sikha diya This is the fault of your eyes those taught me drinking ye jo halka halka suroor hai This mild intoxication ye teri nazar ka qasoor hai is because of your eyes ke sharaab peena sikha diya that taught me drinking tere pyaar ne teri chah ne your love and your longing teri behkee behkee nigah ne mujhe ik sharaabi bana diya your intoxicating glances,made me a drunkard Sharaab kaisi khumaar kaisa, ye sab tumhari nawazshain hain What wine, what intoxication all this is due to your kindness pilaai hai iss nazar se tu ne ke mujh ko apni khabar nahin hai you served me wine with your eyes such that I have forgotten myself teri behkee behkee nigah ne, mujhe ik sharaabi bana diya your intoxicating glances,made me a drunkard Sara jahan mast, mast, mast, mast The whole world is esctatic Sara jahan mast jahan ka nizam mast The whole world is ecstatic,the order of the world is ecstatic din mast raat mast sehr mast shaam mast the day is ecstatic, so is dawn and so is evening mast sheesha mast subuu mast jaam mast the glass, cup and wine are all ecstatic hai teri chasm e mast se hai khaas o aam mast your captivating, magical eyes have made everything every one rich or poor ecstatic Yun to saaqi har tarah ki tere maikhaane mai hai Every kind of wine is there in your tavern wo bhi thori si jo in aankon ke paimaano mai hai a little bit of that wine that exists in your eyes is in the goblet Sab samajta hoon teri ishwa kari ae saaqi I understand your cleverness, the confusing affair you put on well kam karti hai nazar naam hai Paimane Ka Buss It is the fault of your eyes gaze, but the blame is put on the wine teri behkee behkee nigah ne, mujhe ik sharaabi bana diya your flirtatious looks gazing have made me a drunkard mere saaqi saaqi mere saaqi Oh my beloved , Oh my wine giver Lehra ke jhoom, joohm ke laa muskara ke laa Bring it with dancing, waving and smiling phoolon ke ras mai chaand ki kirnain mila ke laa bring the juice of flowers and add the rays on the moon also kyun jaa rahi hai rooth ke rangeen ye bahar Why are you leaving unhappily when this atomosphere is colorful jaa aik martaba isay phir warghala ke laa Just once go and bring it again Sagar shikan hai sheikh bala nosh ki nazar The wine goblet is cracked is the sight of a misfortunate reward sheeshe ko zair e daaman e rangii chupa ke laa By hiding bring a colorful dress to the mirror Kehte hain umar e rafta kabhi lottee nahin They say that age, time which is gone never comes back jaa maikade se meri jawani utha kay laa I say that go and bring back my youth mere saaqi saaqi mere saaqi Oh my beloved

mahtaab hai saaqi Oh beloved there is wine and moonlight sara mausam sharaab hai all the atmosphere, season has become alcohol baaz lamhat aise hote hain there are some moments without you jiss mai peena sawab hai saaqi in which drinking is reward beloved mere saaqi saaqi mere saaqi Oh my beloved , Oh my wine giver Achi pii lee kharab pii lee Drank good , drank bad drank in good times , drank in the bad times thi aag misal e habab pii lee Just drank to satisfy fire inside aadat hai ab to nasha na kaif now it has become habit, no intoxication and no high paani na piya sharaab pii li drank wine, alcohol instead of water Nasha imaan hota hai suraahi deen hoti hai Intoxication is belief, the flask jug is the faith jawani ki ibadat kis qadar rangeen hoti hai youths devotion to whatever it is colorful beautiful tumhara husan agar benaqaab ho jaye if your beauty gets exposed before everyone beauty is not lifelong if everyone understands this har aik chehra khuda ki kitaab ho jaye then every face will become beautiful in this world just like the book of god jo qaaiday se na ho to fazool hai sajda the worship without value, respect is waste adab ke saath khata bhi sawaab ho jaye Those who live with respect for them even mistakes become rewards sharaabion ko aqeedat kai is qadar tum se drunkards are attached to you so much that jo tum pila do to paani sharaab ho jaye even if you will give them water it will become wine Dil us ka namazi ban jaye Their heart will start to pray aankh us ki gulabi ho jaye his eyes will become rosy , rose like jis ko tu mohabbat se daikhe the

mujhe ik sharaabi bana diya your flirtatious looks gazing have made me a drunkard Tera pyar hai meri zindagi, teri yaad hai meri bandaagi Your love is my life, your memories are just like prayers Tera pyar hai bas meri zindagi Your love is my life Na namaz aati hai mujh ko na wuzu aata hai Neither I know prayers nor ablutions sajda kar leta hoon jab saamne tu aata hai I worship, pray whenever you

nahiin when I just see you once , by god it is no less than a prayer, its equal to prayer bas meri zindagi tera pyar hai My life is only your love Tera naam loon, naam loon, naam loon I will take your name Tera naam loon subh o shaam tera naam loon I will take your name morning and evening

Love from Bangladesh.. He is truly out of this world.. No one even comes close!!

That beat is hypnotic. I love the rasp in his voice, for me it adds gravitas. Great video.

The guy in white waistcoat (in middle) is father of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and brother of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. In some "qawalis" you can see young Rahat singing.

A R Rahman said he was a nervous wreck to sing with the great Khan Sb. when he visited Pakistan

Mate he’s Pakistani singer and Pakistan is very rich in music and late Nusrat was legend

The backup singers are master's of their art in their own right. But they're in the presence of a Grandmaster, a musical genius if you will.

The main line of the song means.... "The little dizziness I have its because of your eyes because of those eyes i have became a drinker."

I see a lot of comments here that Carl should just be fawning over Nusrat like crazy. People, everyone is entitled to their opinion and their take. If you want to fawn, please make your own fawning video. I, for one, appreciate Carl's honesty and genuine insight - it is really helping me understand and appreciate music at a deeper level.

The piano like instrument is a reed organ called harmonium which is originally from France but has found a home in both classical and light classical music. The percussion instrument is called tabla. The motif is referred to as Sufi singing.

I once shook hands with Nusrat after a concert and it was funny seeing him stood up !

This is an adoration of The infinite One Life and how our relationship is intoxicating as it leads to Bliss of the Divine - all of them are top singers in their own right that have honed their voices for years as well as the musicians and their instruments. You are listening to artists at the top of their fields. It is classical music

OMG Carl thank you so much for recognizing that Jeff Buckley does know this Pakistani artist and his singing Style and also covered his song as well. But also going through Jeff Buckley's documentaries and interviews and listening to all the songs I realize that before listening to this Pakistani artist he sang very much like every other American singers who were taught in a wide range of of styles like Blues, Jazz, Rock and etc, but only when he heard this artist and went to Pakistan did he inherit some of the essence from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan which you can clearly hear in His Grace album. Because if you listen to Jeff's songs before and after hearing Fateh Ali Khan his tone has totally changed. Jeff said it himself that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan style of music saved his life and that the Pakistani artist is his personal Elvis. Unfortunately both great artists died in 1997 only three months apart from each other. R.I.P 😞🙏🏽🙏🏽❤💞💖

9:22 it is rightly said "Don't try this at home" 😂

you needed to read the lyrics and listen quietly. that's the best way to listen to him. i don't speak his langage, urdu. i am native bengali. yet i find him mesmerizing. he is beyond language, religion or border

One the interesting fact was his popularity in Japan, not only for his music but his resemblance to Laughing Buddha! Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was born on October 13, 1948. He was a Pakistani musician and was known for his eccentric style of singing qawwalis which is the devotional music of the Sufis.

Bro u r reacting to nusrat sab... the ultimate singer south asia ever produced. Ur badluck u are not introduced to surgums, thumries, taal, lay etc etc...apart from that u dont understand the lyrices... I am happy u r giving respect to him. He died i 1997, not even a single day passed of my life without atleast listening one song from nusrat sab

Wait ! What ? Do you really know what you are doing . You are reviewing a legend .

The title exactly mean "This slow slow trance...Is because of your glance"

Feeling anxious to watch this! That's my first time commenting before watching 🤣man that's the big deal

He is father of singer! So called Ustaad. His poetry is marvelous too.

Love from Nepal, always for ustad Nusrat.

Ustaad saab 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼...♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏼

Love your commentary and genuine appreciation of great music!

Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is not just a legendary qawaal (singer) but a feeling of joy feeling of sorrow of purity and soul. Understanding the lyrics is a must. ❤️❤️

Hi Carl, Love to see you exploring so deeply into the Indian Classical music. Ustaad (master) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saheb is one of the greatest singers to have practiced the qawwali genre and he hailed from Pakistan. The gentleman sitting next to him in the white jacket was his younger brother and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's father. Qawwals (musicians practising the qawwali form of music) don't just sing for the sake of performances. It's a way of connecting with the almighty and has a high level of spirituality associated. Qawwalis can be easily witnessed across mosques (but not limited to). In Sikhs and Hindus we have Shabad and Kirtan/bhajan genres of music which are again based on the Indian classical music and can be witnessed across Gurudwaras and Temples respectively. On the point about the long duration of performances, these singers (purists) practise music in some way, every waking moment of the day. It's a part of their personality and comes out naturally without any apparent efforts. The gist here is that a performance is not the topmost priority for such purists. They live the art they practise. Public performances, fame and wealth are all incidental.

"Through the bridge, not messing around" haha..Not like that bro. Actually in our subcontinental music we basically train the pharyngeal voice in a conventional manner. When it starts blending with chest, gradually the lower and upper registers gets connected through the bridge and sounds like one single register or one single voice. But the difference is, we use pharynx from the lowest to the highest note of whole range

My favourite version of this song. The tone in his voice is amazing. I listen to this on KZfaq all the time.

Seems like a 9year old Judging Ronaldinho’s touches. Reaction is the only thing anyone can give to this legend

Music has no boundaries he s Pakistani though ...but v much loved by Indians n he connects both countries beautifully...same his legacy taken by Rahet fateh Ali

Love the way you aren't biased with only one type of music ❤ keep it up, loving the videos

He was one of the best singer in the world...always loved to listen nusrat sir and his famous gazhals..lots of loves from india😘

Abey kahan haath maara hai BC.. NFAK teri smjh or pakad se bahar hai bhai..

don't worry about the hate comments man, i don't understand why people are being so naive. love the vid man keep on doing thanx

You dont need to judge the legend or describe him. His beyond human imaginations

Thank you for this ❤️

You should have reduced your screen size and increased his.

Angrez bae... There are two types of singers in this world. 1. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 2. Others Baki chor kha ungal da rha ha.. 🙏

One of the most important things to note is that Qawali is a form of storytelling. So, he is not just singing, he is telling a story. This is pure poetry. Also, Carl, you have done a few videos with Rahet Fateh Ali Khan, he was a part of this troop for more than a decade before becoming an independent singer.

He is Legend he practice 10 to 12 hours in A day and every day And his family preforming from 500 years can you imagine His family has the oldest music and style Respect 🙏
