Mustt Mustt is the first Qawwali fusion album collaboration between singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and guitarist and producer Michael Brook,[1] although the album itself is credited purely to Khan. It was rock musician Peter Gabriel who suggested that Brook and Khan work together.[2] It was released in 1990 on Gabriel's Real World Records label.

This album, along with Night Song, contributed tracks to the remix album Star Rise.

The song "Mustt Mustt" was remixed by British trip hop group Massive Attack and was a club hit in the United Kingdom, being the first song in Urdu to reach the British charts.[2][3] It was later used in an advert for Coca-Cola.[4] Real World Records, the label which released the album, claimed that the album sold over 600,000 copies outside the Indian subcontinent.
