Description: The title ‘Dust To Gold’ reflects upon Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s philosophy of life, as he considered himself a pinch of dust from a holy place. Touched by genius, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was undoubtedly, spiritually and technically, one of the greatest voices of his day. He was a great bearer of the tradition —the most significant qawwal of his generation and at the same time a great innovator— a visionary who explored a new and daring contemporary musical language.

From unique archives in Nusrat’s hometown of Lahore in Pakistan we have discovered some wonderful recordings which we are now proud to release. This is the first album of these archive recordings —a traditional qawwali session with the complete party. -- from publisher
