Coke Studio originated in [[Brazil]] in 2007 as a music project, initially named ''Estúdio Coca-Cola'', with the aim of blending the styles of two Brazilian artists. The concept was adopted by Nadeem Zaman, Marketing Head of [[The Coca-Cola Company]], who partnered with [[Rohail Hyatt]], a former member of the Pakistani band [[Vital Signs (band)|Vital Signs]], to create a Pakistani version of the show in 2008. The [[Coke Studio (Pakistani season 1)|inaugural season]] premiered with a live audience and was met with immense success. Production was handled by Hyatt, his wife Umber Hyatt, and Nofil Naqvi, a Pakistani cinematographer.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://forbesindia.com/article/recliner/coke-studio-brings-people-together/26072/1?id=26072&pg=1 |title=Coke Studio Brings People Together |date=17 June 2011 |access-date=21 July 2017 |work=[[Forbes India]] |author=Sanjay Monie}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Deepti Unni |date=4 July 2011 |title=The Challenge of Fusion |url=https://rollingstoneindia.com/the-challenge-of-fusion/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240429102923/https://rollingstoneindia.com/the-challenge-of-fusion/ |archive-date=29 April 2024 |access-date=29 April 2024 |website=Rolling Stone India}}</ref>

Following the success of the live audience format in [[Coke Studio (Pakistani TV series) season 1|season one]], Coke Studio Pakistan transitioned to a closed studio format for seasons two through thirteen. [[Coke Studio (Pakistani TV series) season 14|Season fourteen]] marked a significant shift towards pre-recorded music videos, with each song having its own dedicated video.

Musically, the format features an ever-changing and captivating blend of Western instruments (primarily guitars, pianos, synthesizers, bass guitars, and drum kits) with traditional instruments from the [[Indian subcontinent]] ([[harmonium]], [[Rubab (instrument)|rubab]], [[sarod]], [[sitar]], [[bamboo flute]]s, [[dholak]], [[tabla]], and other traditional percussion instruments). With rare exceptions, the singer serves as the lead instrumentalist. Other instrumental solos, while often highly virtuosic, tend to be relatively brief.

Coke Studio airs on both television and digital platforms, maintaining a consistent episodic structure throughout its thirteen seasons, with each episode presenting multiple songs. However, starting from [[Coke Studio (Pakistani season 14)|season fourteen]], [[Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan|Xulfi]], the producer of that season, altered the format by transitioning to releasing individual songs instead of featuring multiple songs within each episode.

Coke Studio Pakistan (Urdu: کوک اِسٹوڈیو; Hindi: कोक स्टूडियो) is a Pakistani television programme and a part of the international music franchise, Coke Studio, which features studio-recorded music performances by established and emerging artists. It is the longest-running annual television music show in Pakistan, airing annually since 2008. The programme's concept originated in Brazil and has subsequently expanded its reach worldwide.

The show combines a myriad of musical influences, from traditional Pakistani classical, folk, Sufi, qawwali, ghazal and bhangra music to contemporary hip hop, rock and pop music.[1] It is noted for promoting Pakistan's multiculturalism by inviting artists from various regions and languages to collaborate musically.[2][3]

History

[edit]

Coke Studio originated in Brazil in 2007 as a music project, initially named Estúdio Coca-Cola, with the aim of blending the styles of two Brazilian artists. The concept was adopted by Nadeem Zaman, Marketing Head of The Coca-Cola Company, who partnered with Rohail Hyatt, a former member of the Pakistani band Vital Signs, to create a Pakistani version of the show in 2008. The inaugural season premiered with a live audience and was met with immense success. Production was handled by Hyatt, his wife Umber Hyatt, and Nofil Naqvi, a Pakistani cinematographer.[4][5]

Rohail Hyatt remained as executive producer for the show until season six, stepping down in 2013 after five years. He was succeeded by Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadia of the band Strings, who produced the show until the end of season ten.[6][7] Strings announced that season ten would be their last.[8][9] In March 2018, Ali Hamza and Zohaib Kazi were announced as the producers for season eleven, but they left after the season concluded.[10][11] Rohail Hyatt made a comeback in 2019 to produce season twelve and continued at the helm for season thirteen as well.[12][13] After season thirteen, Hyatt recommended Xulfi to lead production for the fourteenth season, which aired in 2022.[14][15]

Format

[edit]

The show features artists in each episode, by a house band and guest artists. Coke Studio tracks are officially available on their YouTube channels and various streaming platforms.[a] The music is recorded live by artists at Coke Studio.[16] The televisual style emphasizes frequent close-ups on various performers, highlighting the collective contributions of the ensemble, while primarily focusing on the lead singer or singers.[17]

Reception

[edit]

Following success in Pakistan after its first launch, Coke Studio has become an international franchise. The Pakistani show has amassed a large fan base in neighbouring country, India.[18] The success of the show prompted Coca-Cola to launch the Indian version, Coke Studio @ MTV, with a similar format, which proved to be both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.[19] The Indian version has been produced by MTV India.[20] In April 2012, an Arab version of the show, Coke Studio بالعربي was launched in the Middle East featuring performances by various Arabic and international music artists, produced by the songwriter Michel Elefteriades. Following the successes of the Pakistani and Indian versions, a Bangladeshi edition, Coke Studio Bangla, was launched on 7 February 2022.

Coke Studio has also been seen as an economic process of transnationalism and as a transnational television production, with its production systems being created and augmented by global flows of artists, technology, distribution and economics. Within this process, economic structures are created, opened and even reoriented; influences are borrowed and music produced; communities and heritage discovered and remained – this is done intellectually and physically, and more importantly, transnationally.[21]

Atif Aslam's rendition of Sabri Brothers' qawwali "Tajdar-e-Haram" in Coke Studio Season 8 became the first video originating in Pakistan to cross 100 million views on YouTube, garnering views from 186 countries.[22] Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Momina Mustehsan's rendition of "Afreen Afreen" from the ninth season also earned 100 million views on YouTube.[23] Meanwhile, Ali Sethi and Shae Gill's “Pasoori” has crossed 800 million views on YouTube, making it Coke Studio Pakistan's most listened to song on YouTube.
