The title 'Dust To Gold' reflects upon Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's philosophy of life, as he considered himself a pinch of dust from a holy place. Touched by genius, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was undoubtedly, spiritually and technically, one of the greatest voices of his day. He was a great bearer of the tradition - the most significant qawwal of his generation and at the same time a great innovator - a visionary who explored a new and daring contemporary musical language. From unique archives in Nusrat's hometown of Lahore in Pakistan we have discovered some wonderful recordings which we are proud to release. This is the first album of these archive recordings - a traditional qawwali session with the complete party.A common factor in these qawwalis is that they are panegyrics (praise songs). The first qawwali KHAWAJA TUM HI HO is in praise of a Sufi saint whose shrine is in Ajmeer, Rajasthan; it is in Rajasthani Hindi (a sister language to Urdu) and is in the classical style where the singer takes on a female persona. The following three qawwalis are in Urdu and have simple verse structures: DATA TEIRA DURBAR praises a Sufi saint who lived in Lahore, KOI HAI NA HO GA and NOOR-E-KHUDA HAI HUSN-E-SARAPA RASOOL are in praise of the prophet Muhammad.
