Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Music Planet (2006) - DVD

Nusrat is the brightest star of Qawwali, a form of religious music emanating from the Sufis' beliefs and loving ardor. A fervent traditionalist, he recorded with Massive Attack, Michael Brook and Eddie Vedder before venturing into more avant-garde rock music. His Qawwali has fascinated a number of artists, including Peter Gabriel, Björk, Mick Saint-Clair and Jeff Buckley. Nusrat also worked for the big screen, his work appearing on the soundtracks of Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers and Tim Robbins' Dead Man Walking. Taking us from Lahore to New York, this film shows us the life of a mystic whose rhythms continue pulsing today, even at techno raves.
