5 Facts About the Album Rated PG by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Peter Gabriel

Rated PG was released in 1994 on Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records label. The album pairs Pakistani qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with British musician Peter Gabriel.

The album is a collaboration, not a solo work by either artist. It features both musicians blending qawwali and Western pop styles.

Rated PG is not a live recording or a greatest hits collection. It consists of original studio tracks created specifically for this project.

The album’s title is a playful reference to Peter Gabriel’s initials. It has no connection to film ratings or parental guidance.

This collaboration helped introduce qawwali music to a wider Western audience. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s powerful vocals and Gabriel’s production created a unique cross-cultural sound.
