Coke studio
Definitely has brought some of the best musical talents together on one single platform
and if you've seen any of the performances more often than not the
Collaborations are just pure musical Magic Coke studios Pakistan Began back in
2008 and it's had a new season every single year since then right now
It's in his tenth season, so we gotta take a look at some facts. How's going everybody?
My name is Lera Kenton Welcome to another episode of FTD facts, and I'm gonna put on some more clothes. Sorry
I was just trying to show off the results of me working out and hitting the gym, but yeah, I'll see you guys soon, okay?
I think we're good now but before we get into the facts guys if you love coke music hit that like button on this video
the concept for the show was created in
2007 by the Coca Cola company the show features music artists that already established as well as uP-and-coming artists
and it's the longest-running annual TV show in Pakistan since
2008 the Show's Concept was then adopted by Row hale hyatt heels from the band vital signs
The show was also produced by him along with his wife amber hyatt as well as other band members
Shahzad Hassan and Rizwan Al haq and yet from there
It was an immediate success everybody wanted some more of this it started to be frequently broadcasted on numerous television
Stations as well as radio stations in Pakistan now when you watch any of the performances
Like everything is so well choreographed and the audio sounds amazing, and that's all done live in real time
the Blue jacket or
It's not all cut up and super edited like these fTD fax episodes
I'm telling you Matt like if we had no editors these videos would be like 40 minutes long with all the mistakes
I make it's betty trying to pronounce some of those names out there, so yeah as I mentioned that
Yeah This is done all in real time so like the artists as well as its sound
Technicians and the cameramen all have to be on point in the year 2016 coke music
Hakkasan had
192 members Yeah their team consists of
Artists Producers sound technicians they have an in-house band as well as other supporting staff
So the whole coke studio team is like just one big family and everybody has an important part to play and again of course they
Do produce an amazing show so everybody has to be on their best game and they show that time and time again?
so
The whole concept of cooks to do is to bring traditional South Asian music
Which is played with traditional instruments like flutes and stuff like that and mix that with more
Modern music that uses like electric guitars and
Synthesizers, and the results are always amazing in season nine alone. They use a total of 36 different instruments
Okay, so now this next fact is a bit of a throwback you gamers out there may appreciate this one a lot if you're too
young to remember
The gaming Company Atari was launched back in 1972 games, definitely came a long way from there
but between the years 2004 and 2011 atari released
What was called Atari Flashback which allowed people to play classic Atari games?
So this has hDMI can play 720p not that Atari games are high resolution
But you could connect it to your TV more easily, and that's what the staff does a lot in their free time
And it's pretty ironic cuz it actually sort of matches with the theme of the show you know to mix the old with the new
In a country as diverse as Pakistan where people speak many different languages and dialects
artists from different provinces in Pakistan perform songs that
represent where they come from and in the language of their people so in saying that if you're not familiar with the show you could
just imagine how diverse the music production is
experience perfection of our music directed
On the coke studio platform more than 57 bands and artists have
Performed and some of these people have appeared more than once on the show the first season had a live audience that witnessed
performances from Bands and artists such as rahat fateh Ali Khan
strings and Ali zafar amongst many others as well as they had musicians such as
Bohemia Atif Aslam Kamal Rizvi, and they also performed in subsequent seasons
Now it's really hard to be the competition when all the performances are just world-class talent
But there's always someone that ends up on top and that person is atif Aslam
His song Taj Dari Haram that song has just under 90 million total views at the time of filming this video
Making it the most watched video in all of Coke studios library
calimary Bhatia
even though the two nations
India and Pakistan are seen as sworn enemies for the most part artists have always treated each other with respect
And it's not any different in this case where a number of Indian?
Talents have said to say that they love the pakistani version of Coke studio
It's just another example of how far art can travel and the bridges it can build but not just that coke studio has also become
Extremely popular around the world having Gathered over half a billion total views from its artists around the world so from the popularity of
Coke studio Pakistan, India launched its own version
It's all about playing together. It's all about finding your roots
it's all about bringing out your ideas in the most simplest way and
Sharing it with the world as well as a middle eastern version was launched
you
But let me continue a little bit more about the worldwide effect of coke studios. It's watched in over 150 countries
What started as a television experiment in Pakistan has turned into a global phenomenon?
People from all over the world have responded to coke studios and it continues to maintain its older charm
But now it can also relate to a younger generation on the 10th anniversary of the show this year
2017 the General manager of Coca Cola, Pakistan and Afghanistan
Rizvan khan he stated this we have come a long way since we embarked on this challenging Journey a decade ago
looking back
We feel greatly humbled that coke studio has been able to achieve so much in terms of bringing
Virtually unknown or Little-known musicians into the national limelight
Reintroducing music Genres like qawalli and sufi music to the youth of Pakistan continuing to stay true to the promise of Producing quality
fusion of music and practically playing an iMportant role in
reviving the music industry of Pakistan
