Ustad Nuzreh Ali Khan is very popular in the US. He composed part of the soundtrack for the movie Dead Man Walking -- a big hit several years back. Although the song was in English and obviously created for a film from Hollywood the qawaali sound was unmistakable. The film was a very tragic story. Probably most Americans hearing that did not understand the art form that was its framework.

YouTube - Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Face of Love Performed with Eddie Vedder

In this video the performance is in Qawaali style complete with hand gestures and tabla. And there is a surprise for Qawaali lovers.

Christmas special

"Far Feed The World (do They Know It's Christmas) lyrics"

It's Christmastime,
there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime,
we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
at Christmastime

But say a prayer,
pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
