A growing qawaal voice begins to find its place.......1998-08-05

The CD advertises Badar Ali Khan as a member of the Khan family, which also produced the internationally recognized Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. This pedigree is both good and bad for Badar Ali Khan: the level of expectation is high, but the relationship provides a strong impetus to pick up the CD.

With four tracks, buying this CD is something of a risk. The tracks are all fourteen minutes or longer, so this is definitely not an EP. However, the first two are only of mediocre quality, revealing the limitations and experience of Badar and his party. Most of these are a function of his relative youth, and are displayed in poor vocal control from Badar and less than robust instrumentation and vocal backup from the party.

These limitations, prominent in the first two tracks, disappear in the second two, which showcase the fast-paced, spinning percussion and vocal combination integral to the form. In these tracks, Badar and his party execute the music and vocals with ener! gy and precision. At times, you might find yourself checking the CD to make sure Nusrat hasn't taken over the vocals.

With such a satisfying ending, it is easy to forget the rocky beginning. If you're just becoming interested in the art form, I would start with recordings from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Shoppers already interested in qawaal, and looking to by a CD from an artist we should hear much of in the future, will find this recording an interesting marker of Badar's talent and future direction.
