Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan recordings found in storage in California

Recordings late world music superstar Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan made before his death have been unearthed in a storage facility in Oakland, California.
Owned by Australian-Pakistani singer/songwriter Mahmood Khan, the sessions were taped at Iranian star Morteza Barjesteh’s studio in Encino, California.
Mahmood Khan wrote the tracks for his friend to record while he was battling kidney disease at his home in California in 1996.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died two years later and the recordings were forgotten until his old friend stumbled across them recently.
Khan now plans to release them on a new album, and he’s hoping to get Bee Gees star Barry Gibb involved for a dream duet.
“Maybe Barry Gibb will lend a vocal or two, you never know,” the songwriter says. “If he does it will be the greatest fusion of pop and world music ever produced.”
