A VOICE FROM HEAVEN Documentary Series

In an age when technology records and distributes an overwhelming array of voices in every language and every genre, it is no small honor to be recognized as one of the most beautiful voices of the century. Such was the praise for legendary Pakistani Oawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. A VOICE FROM HEAVEN began as a “notebook” of the singer’s career but became a posthumous tribute with the master’s unexpected death in 1997. With more than 100 albums to his credit, Nusrat had an extensive career that included collaborations on the soundtracks for NATURAL BORN KILLERS and DEAD MAN WALKING. Filmmaker Giuseppe Asaro skillfully integrates performance footage, Nusrat’s final interview, and interviews with a range of pop icons, family members and musicians whose comments underline the uniqueness of Nusrat’s voice and the international loss felt at his early passing.
