Coke Studio is what Pakistani music buffs wait in the summer season every year. This year is definitely going to be a make or break year for Coke Studio Pakistan Franchise as the show gears up to meet its potential on international front. The news are already pouring in that famous and world renowned contemporary Indian musician Rabbi Shergill has entered in the coke studios for this season and Coke India is planning launch of Coke Studio India Franchise. It is also being speculated that entire Coke Studio Pakistan entourage might launch a world tour at the end of season 4 to highlight diversity of Pakistani performing arts.It is perhaps the only news item coming out of Pakistan in the past few years that has always generated positive vibes for Pakistan. A brilliant effort by any means.The good news is that coke studio has started recording for this season and a very secret leak of the recordings has been acquired by well renowned Pakistani music website www.koolmuzone.com. The leak is an audio file of jam session of "The Sketches" featuring Faheem Allan Fakeer (son of legendary Allan Faqeer). The audio file is available at http://www.koolmuzone.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/The-Sketches-Hik-Insan-Coke-Studio-Season-4-Raw-Leak.mp3. If this kind of music is being part of season 4, I am more than willing to leave everything behind to become a couch potato and watch every single episode of Coke Studio this year. So, my recommendation for this summer, another dose of Coke Studio.
PS: Watch out for a couple of very good Pakistani movies such as BOL (Speak Out) by Shoaib Mansoor and Gidh (Vultures) by Shamoon Abbasi apart from World Music Festival from Rafi Peer Group. After a long pause, I believe this year will again be the year of Pakistani arts.
