(1997)Night Song is an album by qawwal Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and guitarist and producer Michael Brook. It was the last album on Real World Records that Khan lived to see finished. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best World Music Album in 1996, but lost out to The Chieftains' album Santiago.
This album, along with Mustt Mustt, contributed tracks to the remix album Star Rise.
This is perhaps the most experimental of Khan's albums, including Senegalese and classically trained musicians.
