We are pleased to announce Shahbaaz, a classic traditional album by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party, will be re-issued on LP and CD to mark 30 years since its original release.
Recorded live at Real World Studios in 1990 whilst Khan was working on his seminal collaboration album Mustt Mustt with Michael Brook, Shahbaaz is a traditional affair, exhibiting the very essence of Qawwali music in beautiful acoustic surroundings.
The album, which was originally released in May 1991, features some of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan‘s most famous qawwals, such as ‘Shahbaaz Qalandar’ and ‘Jewleh Lal’, and captures the undisputed master of Qawwali in the prime of his career.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party lose themselves in this collection of ancient songs with lyrics recalling Sufi poetry and stories. Shahbaaz is intense, ecstatic and uplifting.
Shahbaaz will be re-issued on CD and vinyl on 21st January 2022 and is available to pre-order now.
