India
India (ⁱ/ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

It sits at the crossroads of the strategically important regions of South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. It has a 1,046-kilometre (650 mi) coastline along the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman in the south and is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west and north, Iran to the southwest and China in the far northeast. It is separated from Tajikistan by Afghanistan's narrow Wakhan Corridor in the north, and it shares a marine border with Oman.
The territory of modern Pakistan was the site of several ancient cultures, including the Neolithic Mehrgarh and the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilisation, and has undergone invasions or settlements by Hindu, Persian, Indo-Greek, Islamic, Turco-Mongol, Afghan and Sikh cultures. Thus the area has been ruled by numerous empires and dynasties, including the Indian Mauryan Empire, the Persian Achaemenid Empire, the Arab Umayyad Caliphate, the Mongol Empire, the Mughal Empire, the Durrani Empire, the Sikh Empire and the British Empire. As a result of the Pakistan Movement led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and India's struggle for independence, Pakistan was created in 1947 as an independent nation for Muslims from the regions in the east and west of India where there was a Muslim majority. Initially a dominion, Pakistan adopted a new constitution in 1956, becoming an Islamic republic. A civil war in 1971 resulted in the secession of East Pakistan as the new country of Bangladesh.

Anaida at 12th Mumbai Film Festival

Anaida is a performer, actor, director, producer, pop and playback singer, multi-linguist, advertising conceptualizer, creative exponent of the fine arts, writer/poet and painter. Anaida has been an integral part of the Indian Entertainment Industry for almost 17 years.

In the early '90, She was one of India's first pop singers. Since then she has launched 10 albums and a score of singles, in Hindi, English, Tamil, Malayalam, Punjabi, Greek, and Arabic. She sings in 11 languages. She has acted in Hindi movies and guest appearances in numerous television shows.

Barely 15 she entered the Indian music scene with her hit single "Hotline" which also happened to be the first Indian single to be released.
Her first album "Love today hai nahi asaan" was the highest selling debut album of its time. The song "Dil le le" fetched her a nomination for best female vocalist.
The album was supported by two videos. "Hotline" and "Love today hai nahi asaan".
Both videos showcased her talent also as dancer comfortable both with western and Indian styles. "Love today…." also was the first Indian pop video to be choreographed by Ace choreographer Saroj Khan.
Her English single "Fever" was released soon after. It won her appreciation from the critics who were impressed by the ease and versatility with which the singer modulates her voice to sing the classic track, so different from her Hindi style you could hardly recognize it as being the same voice.
The same year saw her lending her voice to sing the song "DIVA", the title track for the Diva awards, Indias first ever music awards.. She opened the show with a live performance of Diva and later followed it by a slick performance of her favourite "fever"
She also represented the Hindi pop music on the First ever "Ford super model of the year" held in India.
That was followed by her super hit album "Nazuk nazuk" released in 1996, featuring the track "Oova Oova". the song got her a nomination for best female vocalist for the second time as well as one for viewers choice award. The video showcased her talent as an actress equally at ease with comedy. At the time when Indian pop was very influenced by glamour she chose to portray a deglamourized, simple girl and showed her versatility and love for experiments once again.
The second video "Hoo Halla Hoo", from the same album was the first fully animated 3D video ever produced in India. It took over six months to complete and was scripted by Anaida herself. It won a number of award including "Hope 96" for best animation.
For the first time ever, Walt Disney decided to produce a version of one of their popular tracks in another language. It was the song "Hakuna Matata" from their animation movie "The Lion King" in Hindi. They chose Anaida to sing the song along with Baba Sehgal. The video, another first of its kind in India went on to become on of the few numbers popular with kids and adults alike. Anaida proved her extreme professionalism by proceeding to shoot for the video despite a very high fever, a bad case of Conjunctivitis and an injured foot! She often jokes about the dark glasses she sported during the video to cover her swollen eyes!

1996 also saw Anaida teaming up with Syrian singer/songwriter "Shukri" for an Arabic album "O Malu Malu". The first original Arabic album produced in India. The video of the title track was co-directed by Anaida herself, also using her talent as a choreographer for Arabic style of dancing. The song though in Arabic, is one of the most frequent requests at her concerts around India! This incidentally was the first original Arabic album by a Hindi pop artist.

She also was the first to release a pop song to celebrate India's 50 years of independence. the song was originally titled "Vande Mtaram" but later changed to "Hum Sab Ek Hai". The video featured film actors like Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan along with Kumar Gaurav and Atul Agnihotri.

1997 added another delicate feather to her cap. Greek pop superstar, classical pianist and composer "Stefanos Korkolis" invited Anaida to visit Greece to sing a duet for his forthcoming album. The song titled "ANAIDA" sung in Greek and Hindi was Stefanos' dedication to the beautiful and talented singer. The video shot in Greece was very popular and Anaida charmed the Greek audience with her live performance on Greece's most popular T.V show "Bravo" along with 'Stefanos Korkolis'. She describes the song, video and the entire project for her as Magical.

Anaida surprised the audience and critics alike once again by lending her voice to an English song for the film "Bombay Boys". An extremely alternative track, the song "QUEST" showcases her range and versatility as a vocalist and her incredible talent to break new grounds with every new project being equally comfortable and convincing with extremely diverse styles of music and singing. The Song and the video "Quest", exceedingly experimental for the Indian market has been well received and remains as one of her most favourite tracks.

For the first time an Indian female pop star performed live on stage with an international counterpart .1997 also saw Anaida teaming up with international heartthrob Peter Andre at his request for a love duet on channel V music awards in New Delhi.

High on the heels of her successful, experimental and alternative English single 'Quest" came her pop/folk offering, album "Chori Chori", based on Indian folk music. The track "Oonchi, Neechi (Zara dhire chaloji) " took the fans and critics by surprise, so different from the trend at the time and what she herself has done before. She has used a different style and a new tone of voice for this album yet, introducing a semi classical style of singing and a lower range into Hindi pop which then went on to become popular with other singers. The video also follows a new trend, as she puts it herself the video is "as simple as simple could get"!

"Kaachi Kali", the second video, from the album" Chori Chori" sees her teams up with ace choreographer Saroj Khan once again, for her latest.

The video Targeted at the family audience, light hearted and peppy while the song has a strong Rajasthani folk flavour.

With "Quest" and "Oonchi, Neechi" videos both doing the TV rounds successfully Anaida proved to be a trend setter once again, unbelievably convincing in extremely diverse styles of music and appearances.

The year 2000 also saw her lending her voice to the sound track of Dev Benegal's English film "Split Wide Open" for a nostalgic version of the old disco hit " Black is black" accompanied by a video directed by Dev Benegal.

She has also recently lend her voice to three other film sound tracks in Hindi for mainstream Hindi films.
- "You gotta fall in love" for Raj Kumar Santoshi's by Anu Malik .
- "Tumse Achcha kaun " a love duet with Sonu Nigam for Prakash Mehra's "Mujhe mere
- Biwi se bachao" music by Rajesh Roshan. and "Diwani Diwani" for Abbas Mastans
- "Chori chori Chupke chupke" for Anu Malik.

Her Album "Greatest his of Anaida" was released in 2000 and included many of her popular numbers as well as two new tracks, "Piya Bina" and "Anaida" the Greek/Hindi number she sang with Stefanos Korkolis supported by a video shot in Greece.

Anaida was also the first female Hindi pop artist to be featured on "Buddha bar" with her song "Good day to die" sung in English.

The year 2004 had her teaming up with Pakistani band noori for the song "Naya Jahan" released in India and the Middle East in 2006.

Her last Hindi Album "Nayaa" has Anaida back in full force with a new sound, a new interpretation of her voice and newer ideas in the spirit of the title "Naaya". It was completed, with inputs from various talents from around the world. The album includes 10 Hindi tracks with influences from various countries, and 4 English bonus tracks. The Middle east version of the same album has two Arabic bonus tracks. Three videos shot in South of India- Nepal and United States respectively as well as the video of Nayaa jahan shot in Pakistan.. The Album was to released end of 2006.

She held her first ever art exhibition show casting her work of last 17 years. Persian miniature and calligraphy carvings on leather featuring Rumi and Omar Khayyam poetry and abstract inks on paper in Feb 2011 at AIFACS (All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society) presenting yet a new side of the artist and her art.

With Over 12 videos to her credit and highly popular on the live circuit she has performed all around the world in different languages and has teamed up with other artists to experiment with different styles and languages more often than any other Hindi pop singer. She has sung the fun track "Hakuna matata" in Hindi with 'Baba Sehgal' on stage with the same grace, elegance and ease she teamed up with "Peter Andre' to sing an English ballad on channel V awards. She has had m ore collaboration with artists around the world that any other female pop singer in India. Be it her English song on prestigious Buddha bar or being the only artists from Asia teaming with 44 top western artists on Michael Jackson's "what more can I give" for 9/11 relief project. Her talent as a vocalist, dancer and a performer who can hold her audience spellbound through an entire concert has made her one of the most sought after artists for live concerts.

Stefanos Korkolis (born 12 September 1960) is a Greek composer and pianist.^[1] He was born in Athens and grew up in Patissia. He is a nephew of renowned Greek composer Mimis Plessas.

He was considered a prodigy for starting playing the piano since the age of five without prior lessons. His first teacher was piano soloist Marika Papaioannou. Until the age of seven he performed as a self-taught pianist. At age eleven he enrolled in the Athens Conservatoire. His piano teacher was Phoebe Vallinda and harmony teacher was Menelaos Pallantios. Two and a half years later he partakes in an international piano contest winning the first prize, as well as a scholarship from the French government. The latter enabled him to continue his studies at École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

From the age of 17 and for 11 years he was known as "... the French pianist Korkolis, of Greek nationality...". He attended seminars on chorus direction and instrumentation by Vladimir Horowitz, Yvonne Lefébure and others. During that period he composed music for theatrical and cinematic productions. Eleven years later he abandoned classical music which resulted in the revocation of his scholarship. As a composer and a director he started releasing independent records some of which reached the status of gold.

In 1990 his first Greek album ("Που λες κι είσαι νύχτα") was released. Famous songs from this work included "Ζωή με το κομμάτι" and "Μισό - μισό". In 1991 he moved back to Greece. He initially worked on commercials. His first work as an orchestrator was at Andreas Mikroutsikos' "Χαμένο νησί". Subsequently he released his second personal album "Οι μέρες της φωτιάς", which included a song with the same name and "Στους πέντε ανέμους", a duet with Constantina.

In 1997 targeting the European audience, he collaborated with Marinela, Vicky Leandros and José Carreras who performed "Σκόνη και Θρύψαλλα" in Carreras' gala and other European concerts. This song was included in Leandros' highly successful "Gefuehle/Συναισθήματα".

In 1998 he turned to classical music with piano recitals in Athens Concert Hall and Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Greece, as well as outside Greece. He collaborated with George Dalaras, Dimitris Mitropanos, Mario Frangoulis, Alkistis Protopsalti, Mando, Melina Aslanidou, and others.

Korkolis composed "The Hymn of Special Olympics", in 1997 and which was first performed at the 1999 Special Olympics World Summer Games in North Carolina, USA.^{[citation needed]}

In 2003 he performed with Dulce Pontes in the Opera of Bratislava, as an official guest of Jorge Sampaio, during his visit in Slovakia. Following the performance Korkolis was awarded with a medal.^{[citation needed]}

In April 2004 in a ceremony held in the ambassadors home in Hague he gave a piano recital for the members of the International Olympic Committee as part of the Cultural Olympiad.

Since 2005 he's been working with Russian singer Linda.

Since 2006 collaborating with Greek singers Andriana Babali, Chrispa and Alkistis Protopsalti.

Considered one of the greatest singers ever recorded, he possessed a six-octave vocal range^{[citation needed]} and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours.^[1] Extending the 600-year old Qawwali tradition of his family, Khan is widely credited with introducing Sufi music to international audiences.^[2]^[3] He was popularly known as "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali", meaning "The King of Kings of Qawwali".^[4]

He officially became the head of the family qawwali party in 1971, and was signed by Oriental Star Agencies (OSA), Birmingham, U.K., in the early 1980s.

Biography [link]

Early life and career [link]

Khan was born on October 13, 1948 in the city of Lyallpur (now Faisalabad), Pakistan. He was the fifth child and first son of Fateh Ali Khan, a musicologist, vocalist, instrumentalist, and Qawwal. Khan's family, which included four older sisters and a younger brother, Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, grew up in central Lyallpur. Initially, his father did not want Khan to follow the family's vocation. He had his heart set on Khan choosing a much more respectable career path and becoming a doctor, because he felt Qawwali artists had low social status. However, Khan showed such an aptitude for, and interest in, Qawwali that his father finally relented.^[6] Khan began by learning to play tabla alongside his father before progressing to learn Raag Vidya and Bol Bandish. He then went on to learn to sing within the classical framework of khayal. Khan's training with his father was cut short when his father died in 1964, leaving Khan's paternal uncles, Mubarak Ali Khan and Salamat Ali Khan, to complete his training. His first performance was at a traditional graveside ceremony for his father, known as chehlum, which took place forty days after his father's death.

In 1971, after the death of Mubarak Ali Khan, Khan became the official leader of the family Qawwali party and the party became known as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan & Party. Khan's first public performance as the leader of the Qawwali party was at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organised by Radio Pakistan, known as Jashn-e-Baharan. Khan sang mainly in Urdu and Punjabi and occasionally in Persian, Braj Bhasha and Hindi. His first major hit in Pakistan was the song Haq Ali Ali, which was performed in a traditional style and with traditional instrumentation. The song featured restrained use of Khan's sargam improvisations.

In 1979, Khan married his first cousin, Naheed (the daughter of Fateh Ali Khan's brother, Salamat Ali Khan); they had one daughter, Nida.^[7]

Early in his career, Khan was signed up by Oriental Star Agencies in the U.K. to their Star Cassette Label. OSA sponsored regular concert tours by Khan to the U.K. from the early '80s onwards, and released much of this live material on cassette, CD, videotape and DVD.G

Later career [link]

In the 1992–93 academic year, Khan was a Visiting Artist in the Ethnomusicology department at the University of Washington, Seattle.^[8]

Khan teamed with Peter Gabriel on the soundtrack to The Last Temptation of Christ in 1985, with Canadian musician Michael Brook on the albums Mustt Mustt (1990) and Night Song (1996),^[9] and with Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder in 1995 on two songs for the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking. One of these songs ("The Long Road") was re-used on the soundtrack for Eat Pray Love in 2010. Khan also contributed to the soundtrack of Natural Born Killers. He composed the music for the 1994 film Bandit Queen in collaboration with Roger White.

Peter Gabriel's Real World label later released five albums of Khan's traditional Qawwali, together with some of his experimental work which included the albums Mustt Mustt and Star Rise. Khan provided vocals for The Prayer Cycle, which was put together by Jonathan Elias, but died before the vocals could be completed. Alanis Morissette was brought in to sing with his unfinished vocals. Khan also collabrated with Michael Brook to create music for the song "Sweet Pain" used in the movie Any Given Sunday. He also performed traditional Qawwali before international audiences at several WOMAD world music festivals and the single "Dam Mast Qalandar" was remixed by electronic trip hop group Massive Attack in 1998.

His album Intoxicated Spirit was nominated for a Grammy award in 1997 for best traditional folk album.

Khan contributed songs to, and performed in, several Pakistani films. Shortly before his death, he recorded a song each for two Bollywood films, Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya (in which he also sang the song onscreen) and Kachche Dhaage. He sang the title song of the film Dhadkan. He also sang "Saya bhi saath jab chhod jaye" for Sunny Deol's movie Dillagi. The song was released in 1999, two years after Khan's death.

Khan contributed the song "Gurus of Peace" to the album Vande Mataram, composed by A. R. Rahman, and released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of India's independence. Rahman, who was a big fan of Khan could not do further songs with him. As a tribute, Rahman later released an album titled Gurus of Peace, which featured "Allah Hoo" by Khan. Rahman's 2007 song "Tere Bina" was also done as a tribute to Khan.^[10]

After his death, the song "Solemn Prayer", on which Khan provided vocals, was used on the Peter Gabriel song "Signal to Noise" (on the album Up), and on the soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese film Gangs of New York.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Khan Fateh Ali Khan holds the world record for the largest recorded output by a Qawwali artist—a total of 125 albums as of 2001.

Death [link]

Khan was taken ill with kidney and liver failure on August 11, 1997 in London, England, while on the way to Los Angeles in order to receive a kidney transplant. He died of a sudden cardiac arrest at Cromwell Hospital, London, on Saturday, August 16, 1997, aged 48.^[11] His body was returned to Faisalabad, Pakistan, and his funeral was attended by the public.

Composition of Nusrat's qawwali party [link]

The composition of Khan's ensemble, called a "party" (or "Humnawa" in Urdu), changed over its 26 years. Listed below is a snapshot of the party, circa 1983:

Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan: Khan's first cousin, vocals
Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan: Khan's brother, vocals and lead harmonium
Rehmat Ali: vocals and second harmonium
Maqsood Hussain: vocals
Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: Khan's nephew and pupil, vocals
Dildar Hussain: percussion
Majawar Abbas: mandolin and guitar/chorus, handclapping
Mohammed Iqbal Naqvi: secretary of the party, chorus, handclapping
Asad Ali: chorus, handclapping. Khan's cousin
Ghulam Farid: chorus, handclapping
Kaukab Ali: chorus, handclapping

The one significant member of the party who does not appear on this list is Atta Fareed. For many years, he alternated with Rehmat Ali on vocals and second harmonium. He is easily identifiable in videos since he plays the harmonium left-handed.

This snapshot is non-representative in one respect: harmoniums were usually the only instruments. Only rarely were instruments like mandolin or guitar used.

Awards and titles [link]

Khan is widely considered to be the most important qawwal in history.^[12]^[13] In 1987, Khan received the President of Pakistan’s Award for Pride of Performance for his contribution to Pakistani music.^[8]^[14] In 1995 he received the UNESCO Music Prize.^[15]^[16] In 1996 he was awarded Grand Prix des Amériques at Montreal World Film Festival for exceptional contribution to the art of cinema.^[17] In 2005, Khan was awarded the "Legends" award at the UK Asian Music Awards.^[18] Time magazine's issue of November 6, 2006, "60 Years of Asian Heroes", lists him as one of the top 12 artists and thinkers in the last 60 years.^[19] He also appeared on NPR's 50 Great Voices list in 2010.^[20] In August 2010 he was included in CNN's list of the twenty most iconic musicians from the past fifty years.^[21]

Many honorary titles were bestowed upon Khan during his 25-year music career. He was given the title of Ustad after performing classical music at a function in Lahore on his father's death anniversary.^[22]

Tributes, legacy and influence [link]

Alexandra A. Seno of Asiaweek wrote:^[23]

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice was otherworldly. For 25 years, his mystical songs transfixed millions. It was not long enough ... He performed qawali, which means wise or philosophical utterance, as nobody else of his generation did. His vocal range, talent for improvisation and sheer intensity were unsurpassed.

Jeff Buckley cited Khan as a major influence, saying of him "He's my Elvis", and performing the first few minutes of Khan's hit "Yeh Jo Halka Halka Suroor Hai" (including vocals) at live concerts.^[24]^[25] Many other artists have also cited Khan as an influence, such as A. R. Rahman,^[26] Sheila Chandra,^[27] and Alim Qasimov.^[28]

Paul Williams picked a concert performance by Khan for inclusion in his 2000 book The 20th Century's Greatest Hits: a 'top-40' list, in which he devotes a chapter each to what he considers the top 40 artistic achievements of the 20th century in any field (including art, movies, music, fiction, non-fiction, science-fiction).^[29]

In 2008, Khan was listed in 14th position in UGO's list of the best singers of all time.^[30]

In 2004, a tribute band called (Brooklyn Qawwali Party) (formerly Brook's Qawwali Party) was formed in New York City by percussionist Brook Martinez to perform the music of Khan. The 13-piece group still performs mostly instrumental jazz versions of Khan's qawwalis, using the instruments conventionally associated with jazz rather than those associated with qawwali.^[31]
