Title: Rahat can sing!
Review: I saw Rahat Khan in Chicago at one of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's final shows. Nusrat was very, very late arriving, and Rahat took centerstage (with a rendition of Mera Piya Gar Aya) to placate the audience which had started to hiss and boo. And what a turnaround. He won rapturous applause for an electrifying performance. Only 17 at the time, Rahat stole the rest of show too, outsinging the others (even the ailing Nusrat) with his soloes. It was clear that he would be the one who would claim Nusrat's mantle. It is good to finally see a solo release by Rahat, though the lack of sound clips here makes a buying decision difficult. The one track I've heard (Khaban Wich Meray Toon Na Aa) was great and indicates that this release is in the traditional (rather than fusion) vein.
Is the review positive or negative?
