Tu Jhoom | Coke Studio | Abida Perveen

Chal Buleya - Ali Zafar


Renowned Abida Parveen graces the Coke Studio platform once again in episode 3 with a track entitled Dost. Celebrated for her Sufi works, this Coke Studio composition brings forth Abida in an element that is both rare and unique. Unlike her repertoire, ‘Dost’ is structured as an Arifana ghazal but in essence is a kalaam written by Hazrat Baba Zaheen Shah Taji (RA). The kalaam dismisses the previously romanticized pain and suffering of the transient world. The lyrics explores the borderline pain and ecstasy of being fully consumed for the Divine Beloved, as all the friendships and enmities of the fleeting realm hold no purpose and are of no consequence.

This minimalist and subtle composition allows the maestro to connect with the lyrical content leaving one overwhelmed and in awe. The percussions in comparison provide the shifting, cyclical rhythms that reinforce the composition, shadowed by Shallum’s acoustic musings that provide the tenderness to mirror Abida’s heart-wrenching rendition.

The composition induces a highly emotional response in the individual that transcends language and cultural barriers.

Mann Kunto Maula Gunday2014

Man Kunto Maula, Javed Bashir & Ali Azmat, Episode 2, Coke Studio 9
Music Directed by Jaffer Zaidi
Produced by Strings

In a signature Coke Studio format, the platform has called on the talents of Ali Azmat and Javed Bashir to collaborate and take things to the next level on ‘Man Kunto Maula’. The enigmatic sound is made possible with words of Ali Azmat’s part penned by Sabir Zafir, coming together effortlessly with the kalaam of Hazrat Ameer Khusro. Ali Azmat takes the lead on the verses in his familiar pop-rock vocals, and as the song progresses the heartfelt voice of Javed Bashir grips one ever so tightly. The duos vocals work seamlessly together, as the house band graces the track with their precise and decisive contribution, and the humnawa provide repeating hook for the chorus – truly embracing the very essence of the Qawwali and capturing the soul of everyone that comes within its aural range.

Description
Coke Studio embodies a musical fusion of exciting elements and diverse influences, ranging from traditional eastern, modern western and regionally inspired music. Bringing alive the magic of live recordings and performances, Coke Studio prides itself on providing a musical platform which bridges barriers, celebrates diversity, encourages unity and instils a sense of Pakistani pride. Coke Studio is an inspired step by Coca-Cola for having created a platform where renowned as well as upcoming and less mainstream musicians from various genres can collaborate musically.

This year, after the unprecedented critical acclaim and huge popularity of Season 1, Coke Studio reignites our passion and returns to the heart of the live recording studio with a new artist line up, a different sound, an innovative house band and a brand new set of performances and episodes. This season, Rohail Hyatt’s musical genius draws together the fundamentals of collaborative music that will showcase Pakistan’s rich music culture by stitching into its fabric, traditional artists, folk music influences and regional instruments in collaboration with Pakistan’s contemporary mainstream artists.

With Season 1, Pakistan witnessed fusion in its natural essence and form combining not only classical eastern and contemporary western style vocals but instruments and musicians. Live collaborations were staged all summer aired every fortnight, on every television screen, simultaneously, across Pakistan.

At Coke Studio’s Season 2, expect electrifying performances, surprise collaborations between artists and be part of their interpretation of Pakistani music on a reinvented signature Coke Studio set. Season 2 demonstrates how creative boundaries can be defined, redefined and bridged through musical improvisation reflecting the vibrancy and artistic harmony of Pakistan’s artists. Listen to the plaintive sounds emanating from the mountains and valleys of the Frontier and Baluchistan, reverberating through the rivers of the Punjab and breaking out triumphantly into the sands of Sindh and out across the open seas.

Join us and experience Coke Studio’s magical musical journey this 2009.

Abida Parveen, Dost
