The origins of Qawwali music trace back over seven hundred years to the spiritual Samah songs of Persia. Qawwali's devotional themes of peace and love are held to come from God, sung on earth by the Prophets who followed Mohammad.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan the most revered Qawwal came to prominence to western audiences through his collaborations with Eddie Vedder and Tim Robbins (Dead Man Walking soundtrack), Michael Brook, Massive Attack, and Peter Gabriel (Last Temptation of Christ soundtrack) which would result in a number of tours and albums released in North America and Europe.
After newly signing with American Recordings, Nusrat recorded what would become his final studio recordings. Produced by Rick Rubin, these recordings expand on Nusrat's universal themes of spirituality, peace and love.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died shortly after the completion of these recordings. His teaching has been passed on to his nephew Rahat, who's apprenticeship began when he was young boy. Quawwali tradition dictates that the teachings be passed down to the eldest son. As Nusrat did not have any male children he began to teach his young nephew Rahat. Rahat would learn very quickly the wonderful and magnificent ways of qawwali. He would also shine in many performances with his uncle on stage.
