<description><![CDATA[Krishna Das was born in the United States and traveled to India in the late 1960s with his mentor Ram Dass to study with Dass's guru, the Maharaj-ji. After years of study and devotional practice, Das returned to the States, determined to bring Indian religious chants to the American public. He founded the world music label Triloka Records and began releasing solo albums that mixed traditional sacred music with electronic flourishes.

<description><![CDATA[Jagjit Singh and his wife Chitra are considered to be single-handedly responsible for the revival of ghazal as a music form. The couple met in Mumbai in the 1970s; both were singing advertising jingles while hoping to break into the music industry. They began singing together at mehfils (intimate musical gatherings), and their renderings of the light classical ghazal -- which had fallen in popularity for years -- drew a huge following. In 1976 they released their debut album, aptly named <I>The Unforgettables</i>. This launched them into the stratosphere: a string of hit albums followed. Though Singh seldom recorded for the film industry, films like <i>Arth</i> and <i>Saath Saath</i> benefited from his contributions, and ghazals reappeared in films largely because of the duo.

<description><![CDATA[Beloved in his native Pakistan, revered in India, and seen throughout the Western world as a musical ambassador from the Indian subcontinent, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan delighted -- and enlightened -- audiences around the world for over thirty years. A master of Qawwali, the rich Sufi devotional music tradition into which he was born, Ali Khan had no qualms about cross-cultural boundary hopping -- much to the chagrin of some of his more traditional listeners. Khan collaborated on film soundtracks with the likes of Peter Gabriel (<i>The Last Temptation of Christ</i>) and Eddie Vedder (<i>Dead Man Walking</i>), and saw his music remixed by Trip-Hop sensation Massive Attack. Nonetheless, Khan was best known and loved for his passionate, strident tenor, which wavered and soared like a liberated bird leading an ascending flock into the sky at dusk. At times bittersweet, at times caressing, Khan's voice could induce ecstasy in even non-Muslim listeners, and frequently did. Khan died at age forty-nine, leaving behind a rich discography...and a gaping hole which has yet to be filled.

<description><![CDATA[Cheb i Sabbah is a legendary Algerian born, San Francisco DJ who spins what he calls an "Outernational Mix," of dance music from "the oasis of Arabia, Africa, Asia." He creates a seamless mix that unifies diverse sounds. His technique is hardly appropriation, for in the context of his decks, the voice of each artist truly shines. He creates a greater, extended community in the mix. His recorded music is less beat-oriented and more quietly meditative. A hybrid of Hindustani classical music and contemporary mixology, Sabbah taps into something seemingly timeless and without borders.

<description><![CDATA[The Sabri Brothers are the real deal. Premier Pakistani qawaals with over 40 years of performing behind them, this musical family has been a -- if not <i>the</i> -- driving force behind Qawaali's modern presence both at home and abroad. More traditional than the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Sabris mainly rely on harmonium, tabla, dholak and handclaps to accompany their ruminations on Allah. But it's the vocal interplay that supplies the group with its overpowering presence. Vocals are stark, precipitous, and call out with unrestrained longing before resolving themselves into a swelling camaraderie. The music does everything it's meant to: ecstatic love for the divine is near-palpable in voices that shake and soar, and the repetitive, yet complex rhythms could draw even non-believers into a trance. The family is reportedly descended from a famed musician in the Moghul emperor Akbar's court -- whether that's true or not, they're certainly royalty now.

<description><![CDATA[Ram Dass was born Richard Alpert in 1931. He became famous for his experiments with LSD in the 1960s with people like Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsburg; he was eventually dismissed from Harvard for his work with psychedelics. In the late 1960s he traveled to India where he worked with a guru for years. On his return he wrote several well-received spiritual books and made various spiritual recordings, becoming something of a guiding light for the post-hippie generation.

<description><![CDATA[This cousin of the late, great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan possesses a similar soaring presence in his ecstatic vocal gyrations. Tabla drums circle dance beats and funky basslines in remixes that transmute the vocals into a psychedelic lattice of vocal sustains.

<description><![CDATA[Puranchand and Pyarelal Wadali received their first musical training from their father, Thakur Das. Despite some initial resistance -- Purachand wanted to be a wrestler more than a musician -- the boys made headway and in 1975 were discovered by N.M. Bhatia, who brought them to All India Radio to record. While deeply influenced by their Sufi faith, the brothers have branched out from qawwali and into Hindustani classical music, training under Durga Das and the great Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. They also perform various folk forms. While their lack of interest in commercial success has meant few recordings, the brothers are getting more and more recognition, which has led to soundtrack work on films including 2003's Partition epic <i>Pinjar</i>.
