Ustad Salamat Ali Khan

First press 2025.
Live raga mastery from a Pakistani legend, recorded in West Berlin at the height of his powers. No edits, no gloss — just pure, meditative vocal virtuosity, accompanied by tabla and tanpura in full transportive mode. Part of the festival series that also brought you Alice Coltrane and Don Cherry, if that gives you a clue. FFO: Pandit Pran Nath, Alice Coltrane, Terry Riley, Charanjit Singh (no synths here, though), that feeling when time fully stops at 2am
