The young and famous Indian actress and former model Anushka Sharma was in all praise for Coke Studio, a music production that has become a national phenomenon and is a source of pride for Pakistanis. The talented actress says that its an amazing show and the musicians are really very talented. She also added that she is hooked to Coke Studio since one year. She who made her screen debut opposite Shahrukh Khan which was a huge success and her performance was appreciated and did her second film opposite Shahid Kapoor and will soon be seen opposite Akshay Kumar in Patiala House, tweeted: {Read More…}

So, Coke Studio has finally ended and there has been a lot of criticism about the content produced in the third season of it. In my opinion, a lot of that is because of the experimentation that has been put into this season.

However, this season has grabbed attention of some high profile fans, including Governor of Punjab Salmaan Taseer, who praised Coke Studio by tweeting last week:

“Coke Studio is the greatest ambassador of moderate Pakistan. I watch it in my free time especially ‘Jugni’ (by) Arif Lohar and Meesha. Great music.”

Sunn kay ney kehti hai apni daastaan
Listen to the reed flute

Dard-e-hijran say hui hai noha-khwan
How it tells a tale complaining of separation

Kaat kar laye ney-sitaan say yahaan
Saying, “Ever since I was separated from the reed bed
(Repeat)

Mard-o-zann meri nawa say khoonch-kaan
my lament has caused man and woman to moan

Jo bhi apni asal say hoga judaa
I want a bosom torn by severance {Read More…}

In its fifth and final episode for 2010, Coke Studio’s annual voyage concludes with the spirit of ‘Realisation’.

The last episode ‘Realisation’ is an acknowledgment of this process. {Read More…}

The Pakistan America Peace Through Music Project
A Musical Journey to Peace, Freedom and Understanding
(A Collaboration of The Sonic Peace Makers and SHINE HUMANITY)

Background:

Mention Pakistan today and what comes to the minds of most Americans is terrorism, poverty, and hopelessness. That’s all they see in the news. But Pakistan also has one of the world’s most diverse and rich cultures, equaled only by its spectacular natural beauty as home to part of Kashmir, the Khyber Pass and high mountain peaks like K2. Once upon a time in the not so distant past, Texan gun enthusiasts brought their prized antique revolvers to Peshawar’s gun smiths to make copies, actor Robert DeNiro posed for pictures with restaurant owners while vacationing in Chitral, and Mick Jagger tested his dance skills with Lahore’s most well-known Mujra dancers. And many of Pakistan’s greatest musicians and singers like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan regularly collaborated with their counterparts in Europe and America such as Peter Gabriel and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. {Read More…}
