Product note

Personnel includes: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, Ghulam Abbas Jaffri (vocals); Rehmat Ali (harmonium); Dildar Hussain (tabla).
Recorded live in Paris, France in 1985.
Nine other singers forming a chorus augment the ensemble on this live recording featuring Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his brother Farrukh. Two harmoniums and tablas provide accompaniment. In general, the melodies of all five tracks are sung by Nusrat, then echoed by the chorus who highlight the most salient parts of the poem in the form of a refrain. Handclapping and tablas help the singers to elaborate subtle vocal lines over a solid rhythmic foundation.
Essentially, this music is an amalgamation of three styles common in Pakistan: classical music, based on ragas (modes) from India enriched by the khayal, Hindustani music's traditional classical vocal style; semi-classical music, represented by the thumri and dadra, or love songs; and light music, which allows the performer great melodic and rhythmic freedom and is used mostly to sing the love poems known as qhazal. "Mumadjoat," "Mevsiye," and the three versions of "Ghazal" are all quite beguiling.
