Peter Gabriel’s RealWorld record label apparently had these recordings from 1990, but only tracked them down in their archives three years ago. The new album is one of 2024’s big surprising music releases and is titled “Chain of Light.” Even in death, Ali Khan continues to draw international attention to his style of Sufi chanting known as “qawwali.”
