Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is a singer in the Qawwali
style native to Pakistan
and India.
Son of Farrukh
Fateh Ali Khan and nephew of the great Nusrat
Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat took over Ustad Nusrat's
Qawwali party after his death in 1997, as Nusrat had no
sons of his own. Nusrat had taken him under his wing,
and trained him in classical music and Qawwali since a
very early age.
Rahat
began performing alongside Nusrat at the age of
10; he can be seen in numerous earlier videos of
Nusrat. His voice is high-pitched unlike the
booming husky voice of Nusrat. His first solo
album Janasheen was a great hit.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan like Nusrat
passionately celebrates traditional sufi music.
He also lends his voice for Hindi film playback.
He has song for films like Omkara, Namaste
London, Paap. Rahat has perfomed live with Eddie
Vedder of Pearl
Jam. He also sang "Maki Madni" for The
Derek Trucks Band on 2002's Joyful
Noise.
