The Legend Lives On

The Legend Lives On — Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Legacy Collection MP3

The Legend Lives On is the kind of title that only makes sense in retrospect — it is a statement about a legacy rather than about an ongoing career. He is not the only qawwal who sang this qawwali — the tradition continues through many performers — but he is the one whose legend has proven most durable across the widest range of listeners. He has a voice that can mesmerize audiences of all ages. He is one of the classic qawwals of history. iRulz is facilitating the living of this legend through preservation of his complete archive.
