I interrupt the Madhouse for a Sanity Break

Do you know how many hours I've spent today following events in Syria?  Never mind. Never have I seen so many deranged governments converge on one little country, and that's not counting the loco people at the United Nations and the barking mad terrorists. 

All right; just for a few minutes, to remember what sane people are like, here is Mast Nazron Se Allah Bachaye by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, posted to YouTube by Aman Deep. This qawwali was filmed at Bradford University in 1985. It sounds as if Ustad Nusrat is experimenting with an echo gizmo on at least one microphone (or maybe it's the room's acoustics); he doesn't need the echo but it suits the rendition.
