Into the Hills

Into the Hills is a qawwali-inspired vocal composition performed by Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The track appears as the fifteenth entry on the album Bandit Queen, Vol. 51, released on January 1, 1995 under the label Oriental Star Agencies Ltd. The album was distributed in digital media format.

The track runs for 1 minute and 21 seconds. Khan delivers the piece in his signature devotional style, blending traditional Sufi musical elements with improvisational vocal techniques.
