Badar Ali Khan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Badar Miandad, also known as Badar Ali Khan, (1968 - March 2, 2007), was a Pakistani singer. He released 22 albums in his native Pakistan. His genre is more famous for his popular late cousin Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan though Badar Ali Khan himself had mastered this art too.
Most recently, working with producer/arranger/composer Suresh "Baba" Varma, Badar had leapt to the forefront of his art, becoming a Qawwali superstar with Baba Records' multimillion-selling album Good Karma 1. Blending the traditional with the contemporary, the ethereal with erotic, Badar Ali Khan succeeded in transforming this ancient art form into something totally modern, incredibly potent and powerfully intoxicating for contemporary young audiences.
He died in 2007 in Lahore of a heart attack, after two years of heart trouble.
