Black Night

Black Night is a qawwali composition performed by Badar Ali Khan. The track serves as the opening piece on the album Lost In Qawwali III, released on June 8, 2001, under Birdman Records. The recording adopts a traditional qawwali structure with a duration of 12 minutes and 35 seconds.

The album Lost In Qawwali III features Badar Ali Khan as the primary artist. The release format consists of a compact disc. The label Birdman Records distributed the work as part of its series dedicated to qawwali music. The track Black Night reflects the Sufi devotional style characteristic of the genre, though specific lyrical themes or instrumentation details remain undocumented in available sources.

Badar Ali Khan belongs to a lineage of qawwals associated with the Qawwal Bachon ka Gharana, a prominent school of qawwali performance. His contributions to Lost In Qawwali III align with the series’ focus on preserving and presenting classical and semi-classical qawwali traditions. The album’s release date and label affiliation position it within the early 2000s revival of interest in South Asian devotional music among international audiences.

No additional information exists regarding the production team, session musicians, or recording locations for Black Night or the broader album. The track’s reception and commercial performance remain unrecorded in accessible archives. Birdman Records’ catalog includes multiple volumes in the Lost In Qawwali series, though the third installment stands as a distinct entry in Khan’s discography.
