Brooklyn Qawwali Party February 19, 2011

Paying tribute to one of the world's greatest vocalists, Brooklyn Qawwali Party formed to honor the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, reworking his songs for an eclectic, 11-piece orchestra comprised of groundbreaking jazz musicians. "Funky and smart, BQP captures the joyful spirit of this Pakistani folk music in a unique instrumental blend of jazz and Qawwali." With five horns, guitar, bass, harmonium, and three percussionists, the band's buoyant rhythm creates an unfettered deluge of sound.
