Re‐Opening

Re-Opening is a qawwali composition performed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The track appears as the fourteenth entry on Bandit Queen, Vol. 51, a compilation album released on January 1, 1995. Oriental Star Agencies Ltd. issued the recording in digital media format.

The piece spans a duration of 1 minute and 18 seconds. Khan delivers the vocal performance in his signature qawwali style, characterized by improvisational phrasing and devotional intensity. The album belongs to a series titled Bandit Queen, though the thematic or contextual linkage between the series title and the included tracks remains undocumented in available sources.

No additional details regarding the composition’s lyrical content, accompanying instrumentalists, or recording sessions are publicly verified. The release date aligns with Khan’s active period in the mid-1990s, during which he collaborated extensively with Oriental Star Agencies Ltd. for international distributions of his work. The label specialized in South Asian classical and devotional music, frequently releasing Khan’s live and studio recordings across multiple volumes.

The track’s brevity distinguishes it from Khan’s longer, more elaborate qawwali performances, which often exceeded ten minutes. Bandit Queen, Vol. 51 does not feature a unified narrative or conceptual framework, instead compiling disparate recordings under a sequential volume system. The album’s reception and commercial performance are not recorded in accessible archives.
