		Khan and his nephew rise above the chorus with solo vocal acrobatics, bending and twisting notes into piercing wails and mesmerizing chants, accompanied by clapping, and the complicated rhythms of the tapping tablas.

	TIME Magazine \| 60 Years of Asian Heroes: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
		Look in many a music store and you'll find Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan filed under "world music." At the best of times, it's an uncomfortable label—inextricably associated with trendy advertising soundtracks and middle-class dinner parties, and crassly combining genres as diverse as Berber Amazigh and Mexican huapango under the same marketing conceit.
		But shortly before his death, Khan was becoming one of the very few so-called world-music artists to transcend this pigeonhole: growing numbers of international listeners were appreciating his art as extraordinary music, period.
		On Khan's death in 1997, Westerners were just starting to grasp this musical treasure that Pakistan had given the world—but in South Asia women wailed and men wept as if a god had removed himself from the earth.
