Realizing the changing trends in Pakistan, NFAK did some of his same songs with western remixes

As part of his Sangam (collaboration) album he did many videos in India as well.

YouTube - Mera Imaan Pakistan by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

One of his few songs in urdu and with amazing poetry...

 

[Capt.Popeye]

My 2 cents: NFAK is up there, among the all time greats; because he mastered the original idiom and dared to experiment as well. Though; imho, he did not pull off all his experiments well. The dividing line between 'fusion' and 'confusion' is extremely delicate and difficult when working with radically different musical genres and final results can be rather indeterminate.
That said it takes great confidence to experiment the way that he did.
One thing else, imho; the title of the thread seems rather strident in its tone.

There are only a few people for whom you can adopt such a definitive tone, and hence I did it.

YouTube - Nusrat fateh ali Khan & Eddie Vedder - The Long Road

Compare this one then, I personally felt he reached the zeniths of fusion that anyone possibly could in this genre...

 

[Awesome]

This one is more famous. I once saw their performance and eddie vedder is just dumbfounded when he goes into is full raag milaap mode.

[Awesome]

Even Santana and Hammet borrowed their riffs from him:

Metallica - Trinity
YouTube - Carlos Santana & Kirk Hammett - Trinity

NFAK - Tere bin nahi lagda dil
YouTube - Tere Bin Nahi Lagda Dil : Sad but beautiful song

And this was when Metallica requested Santana to contribute to the song.

YouTube - Two greats come together Lata and Nusrat

They should have actually done something together - and Lata ji shouldn't have sung a copied version, perhaps she didn't know, who was the Music director? Anu Malik. I think the only one time when I have seen NFAK pissed off was when he was talking about Anu Malik and his long streak of ripping off NFAK music.
