Junoon Band was the first sufi style fusion based music which was one of my very favs. And when I found out about Coke Studio, I was amazed by the music on the site. Oh ! man what a platform, wah..kya music.. those amazing voices are just mind blowing. Coke Studio is such a unique concept of putting together so many different artists & difference types of music. They cover so many genre music -Classical, Ghazal, Qawwali, Pop, Filmi, Rock and Hip Hop. With fusion mix of ethnic, religious with latest instruments is quite an amazing mix. The lyrics, the style and the depth with which the artists sing make you feel so very relaxed and I can bet, you will certainly experience an out of world experience. One thing I liked is that there is no live audience in the show( audience brings in extra background sound).

Some of my fav’s among those are – Toomba by Sain Zahoor, Dastaan-e-Ishq – Ali Zafar, Aik Alif – Saieen Zahoor and Noori

The fusion based music is what caught my attention. I don’t have words to express the happyness listening to these songs. Thanks to Iqqu (he too likes fusion music) who found out some of the videos titled Coke Studio, then I went on search of whats it actually and found out their youtube channel and their website. Its strange that I missed noticing something like this for almost of a year. I could not come up with some more stuff to write in. You should just listen to the music , you will know it better..njoy !

Now lets see what is Coke Studio.(with a screenshot from their official site showing all the artists)

Coke Studio started off in 2008 in pakistan, produced by Rohail Hyatt and his wife Umber Hyatt, backed by feature rich artists.

Coke Studio is a Pakistani television series featuring live music performances. The program focuses on a fusion of the diverse musical influences in Pakistan, including eastern classical, folk, and contemporary popular music. The show provides a platform for renowned as well as upcoming and less mainstream artists, from various genres and regions, to collaborate musically in live studio recording sessions.

Its nice to all the videos aggregated on the youtube channel, where they have performances and behind scenes videos (some funny, some senti..)

This TV series has to be aired/telecasted in other countries too. People will know whats real fusion based music. And more frankly we will know what real music is , how music evolves when great artists come together to create something enthralling.
