Underrated – the one word which perfectly describes the music industry of Pakistan. When it comes to our musicians and performers, the variety showcased talent is immense. For decades, Pakistan has produced the type of talent which can roar to the clouds of success, if given the perfect platform. While there are quite a few platforms for the talented performers to flaunt their potential, Coke Studio, by far, is one of the ventures which vows to raise the bar every season.
After ending the 9th year of magical performances by the local stars on an extremely high note, this year Coke Studio will be seen marking the 10th year of giving us the best of Pakistani music. While the venture was amid a lot of false rumors such as Rohail Hyatt making a comeback as a producer, Coke Studio released this year’s lineup by sharing that there will be a total of 9 producers alongside Strings.
Beginning the 10th year on Pakistan’s 7oth birthday, this year’s Coke Studio will feature tributes to a number of legends, such as Junaid Jamshed, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Aamir Zaki.
