FAQ

What caused Nusrat's international star to rise when it did? Multiple factors: Peter Gabriel's interest and his Real World Records platform; the world music boom of the late 1980s; the specific quality of his voice and performances; and some degree of timing that put the right music in front of the right audiences at the right moment.

Did his star rise in Pakistan happen at the same time? He was already highly regarded within Pakistan before international recognition. The international fame amplified his domestic status without being its cause.
