Coke Studio comes to INDIA!!!

I have always admired Pakistani musicians... I guess since they don't have Bollywood equivalent, the music is a lot more experimental, open and I've heard some very good Pakistani music.

Coke Studio was an amazing platform for Pakistan's music. Someone said it is the next best thing to happen to Pakistani music after Nusrat.. Not knowing a lot about the industry, I wouldn't contest that. But it has definitely created a great platform for the thousands of Pakistani's for whom music is an integral part of their life.

The first video of Coke Studio I bumped into on somebody's FB, and I instantly fell in love with the song - and got me hooked on to the platform.



The initial list of musicians for Coke Studio India are mostly some known singers (List of Coke Studio India artists), but I SERIOUSLY hope the show doesn't get lost in Bollywood type music.

Here's hoping for some great Monday evenings...
