Rahat Fateh Ali Khan LIVE in Concert
Rahat LIVE in Concert May 19
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan regaled the audiences at a very young age accompanying his great Uncle Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan but, little did any one know that he would reach the same level of popularity today. Rahat's 'Sufi Style' has touched the hearts of young and old alike all over the world. Following the footsteps of his family from Faislabaad, Pakistan, Rahat and his party started as Qawwals with a lot of success but it was his singing in Bollywood films that took everyone by surprise. His most recent Bollywood hits include Tere Mast Mast Do Nain (Dabanng), Teri Meri (Body Guard), and Sajda (My Name is Khan).

Kamal's Video Palace is very proud to host the 'Pride of Pakistan' Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and his entire group at Vancouver's prestigious Queen Elizabeth Theatre for an evening of memorable soulful 'sufi music' and qawwalis.

When: Saturday, May 19, 2012
