Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party - Chain of Light teaser

A new album of unheard recordings by Pakistani musical icon Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan will be released on September 20, 34 years after they were recorded.

The “lost album” — named Chain of Light — was discovered in the tape archives of Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records, the label that signed Khan in 1989 and released a series of universally acclaimed albums with him throughout the 1990s. The launch of the album is being supported in part by the British Council.

Fans of the great maestro will be thrilled to also learn that a definitive documentary film on Khan’s life is in the making. Saiyna Bashir Studios, an Islamabad-based company, will release their labour of love biopic Ustad at the end of 2025.

The film will tell the untold story of one of the world’s greatest singers, featuring rare and unseen archive footage with contributions from a cast of close family, friends, collaborators and fans.

CD, standard LP and limited edition LP versions of the album are available now to pre-order. Link https://bit.ly/nfakcol
