In 1995, he collaborated with Eddie Vedder on the soundtrack of Dead Man Walking. He reached out to Western audiences with a couple of fusion records produced by Canadian guitarist Michael Brook. Nevertheless the song became a major hit, as many listeners were attracted to the timbre and other qualities of Nusrat's voice. This was performed in a traditional style and with traditional instrumentation, and featured only sparse use of Nusrat's innovative sargam improvisations. In Pakistan, his first major hit was the song 'Haq Ali Ali'. Nusrat took over his family's qawwali party in 1971 after the death of his father and his uncle. Nusrat's family (originally from Afghanistan, though they had been living in Pakistan for a large part of their lives) has an unbroken tradition of performing qawwali for the last 600 years. Traditionally, Qawwali has been a family business. ∙ The Lux Style Awards-Pakistan’s longest-running entertainment awards show-gave Rahat Best Song of the Year honors in 2014, and he’s won three more awards in the years since.Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (OctoAugust 16, 1997) was primarily a singer of Qawwali, the devotional music of the Sufis, a mystical offshoot of Islam. ∙ In 2014, he became the first Pakistani artist to perform at a Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony, which that year honored his countrywoman Malala Yousafzai. ∙ He contributed vocals to the 2003 Indian film Paap, and he subsequently built a parallel career as an award-winning playback singer, appearing in over 100 movies and TV shows. ∙ Shortly after Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s death in 1997, Rahat assumed leadership of his uncle’s group. ∙ Alongside his uncle and father (acclaimed qawwali singer Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan), Rahat collaborated with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder on the soundtrack for 1995’s Dead Man Walking.
