After a winter of upheaval at Coke Studio, the popular musical show is set to return to television screens in September. On Thursday, Coca-Cola unveiled season seven’s lineup featuring 23 artists and 22 musicians.
This season’s line-up includes: Abbas Ali Khan, Abida Parveen, Abrarul Haq, Akhtar Chanal Zahri, Asrar, Fariha Parvez, Humera Channa, Javed Bashir, Jawad Ahmed, Jimmy Khan, Komal Rizvi, Meesha Shafi, Momin Durrani, Naseer Shahab, Niazi Brothers, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahma Ali, Sajjad Ali, Sanam Saeed, Usman Riaz, Ustaad Raees Khan, Ustaad Tafu Khan, Zoe Viccaji and Zoheb Hasan.
Humera Channa and Jawad Ahmed along with Zoheb Hasan will be making their first appearance on the show.
Coke Studio is returning under new producers and with the theme of “Sound of the Nation.”
Season seven will be produced by Strings duo Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadia. Last season’s experiment with international artistes, that culminated in the departure of long time producer Rohail Hayat, is also being abandoned in favour of a ‘return to roots’ with a wholly local lineup.
Coca-Cola Pakistan’s General Manager Rizwan Khan said that their aim was to “reinvent the way music can capture the spirit of Pakistan.
