Can it really be 30 years since Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan made his U.S. debut at BAM and instilled New York with a serious case of qawwali fever?  Speaking for myself, I haven't been to a qawwali concert in years -- but the feeling you get from live performances of this music of being simultaneously in a trance and extremely excited is something you don't get elsewhere.  Time for more.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Really great Korean food at Insa.  I recommend you forego the at-table barbecue in the dining room and eat in the lounge, which is much more pleasant.
