Nusrat Fateh + jazz gora band = Brook’s Qawali Party! a band by the name of Brook’s Qawwali Party seems to have formed a band just to play Nusrat Fateh’s music…with a little touch of jazz music.
according to Wikipedia:
In 2005, a tribute band called Brook’s Qawwali Party was formed in New York City by percussionist Brook Martinez to perform the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The 11±piece group performs instrumental jazz versions of Nusrat’s traditional qawwali songs, using the instruments conventionally associated with jazz (saxophones, brass, electric guitar, double bass, djembe, drum set, and percussion) rather than those associated with qawwali.
Here’s a sample of what they do: Allah Hu. (check out their urdu accent, hyuk!) **But they sure do rock! **
