WORLD MUSIC Featuring Vishal VAID, THE Brooklyn Qawwali PARTY AND Special Guests TBA 2007 will mark the 10th anniversary since Pakistani qawwali legend Nusrat FATEH ALI KHAN passed away. Khan’s influence made its mark on a wide range of artists, including Jeff Buckley, Eddie Vedder and Perry Farrell, and his forward-reaching collaboration with Michael Brook on Mustt Mustt and Night Song was the gateway for global audiences to experience this unique harmonium and tabla-driven devotional music. GlobeSonic Entertainment’s Tribute TO Nusrat features a range of artists influenced by this legend, including vocalist Vishal VAID and big-band Brooklyn Qawwali PARTY, along with special guests and GlobeSonic DJ’s.
