In music is God

Brilliant performance by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan from 1985, thanks to youtube. A shorter excerpt of the same is here. "A Voice from Heaven" indeed [1]!

A more recent performance is here. (Many other shorter clips also on youtube, available through "Related videos" at the above links. I've spent a good hour or two listening to the Ustaad this morning.)
