It was his uncle, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, however, that earned the most fame and notoriety. A Family of Singersīoth Rahat’s father, Farukh Fateh Ali Khan, and his grandfather, Fateh Ali Khan, were notable qawwali artists in their own right. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan continues to tour and maintain the musical legacy left to him by his father, uncle, and grandfather. The devotional music of the Muslim Sufis, Qawwali is the music that has inspired his family for generations. Although Rahat is well-versed in many different types of music, being a Qawwali singer is what is closest to his heart. While he became known through his Uncle’s qawwali music, he has built a strong career in the Pakistan film industry and as a playback singer in Bollywood. Have something to add to the story?

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the qawwali maestro, left Pakistanis with a rich musical legacy. I'm only taking action against the people who have misused my father’s music and claimed it as their own.” When asked if she was also taking action against Rahat, she explained, “I am not going against him he's a brother to me. I will be taking strict action against the people who are using them and will also be taking them to court,” Nida had said. “After my father’s death, I possess the rights to his music. Just last week, in a press conference held at the Lahore Press Club, Nusrat's daughter Nida shared plans of taking action against people who have used her father’s song without permission. It is because of him that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is remembered." "However, Rahat has kept the flame of this family alive by relentlessly performing across the globe. But at times they are forgotten as no one is there to keep it alive," he said. "There have been many golden voices such as Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Jagjit Singh and many more. Guitarist and music producer Salman Ahmed also lent his support to Rahat. I have a world tour this year," the singer went on to say. "I hope this clarifies any ambiguities and the fact that I do not need any permission to sing what belongs to my family and me." "I have one of the best teams and management, who have taken the name of our family globally at a time when qawwali and Sufi music was nearly forgotten. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, Gulrukh and Momin host a sangeet in Lahore. It's my families name and legacy which I'm carrying and as a tradition, tomorrow my brother and son will carry it." I've also performed at the UN General Assembly. I have performed at the Noble Peace Prize ceremony where, in fact, I was the headline performer. He added, "I've kept the family tradition alive since I was made the successor by Uncle Nusrat over 20 years ago.
We are a family and everything belongs to us as a family." "When my father Ustad Farrekh Fateh Ali Khan and uncle Nusrat recited kalams of my grandfather Ustad Fateh Ali Khan and other members of our family, no permissions were required. "This has never been the scenario in history and the legacy of our family, which has a rich heritage of over 600 years in the field of qawwali and Sufi music," he told the media. Why would I need any permission?"Īccording to Rahat, asking for permission to re-sing a song has never been done in the Fateh Ali clan. To this, Rahat replied, "I am the successor ( janasheen) and adopted son of my ustad and uncle. The Tere Mast Mast Do Nain hit maker was recently asked if he required permission to sing qawwalis originally made famous by his uncle.
His comments come shortly after the Nusrat's daughter held a press conference claiming to own all the rights to his qawwalis. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, nephew of late music maestro Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, has said that he doesn't require permission to sing his uncle's famous songs.
