As we delve further into the layers of the world’s many cultures to experience its hidden connect points, this Season, Coke Studio sees the union of what would appear to be sounds from different parts of the globe – but with the ever inherent Universality found in the theme of Love. The song itself begins with an expression of the rare South Indian raag known as Abhogi Kangra – a raag rooted in a 5000 year old history and is unique due to its structure. Due to its scale being so different, very little work has been done with the ancient raag, something that Rustam Fateh Ali Khan now feels is something worth presenting to exhibit a feel that is one of a kind and thereby create a sound that, with the accompaniment of contemporary sounds, cements the raag’s influence in modern day music. As the song progresses, we travel to Turkey to connect with a rendition by Sumru Ağıryürüyen of the traditional Anatolian classic that is ‘Kalenin Burcu Muyam’. Lyrically, the verses of both pieces talk of Love demonstrating the similarities in culture not just in theme but also in words. ‘Tori Chab – Kalenin Burcu Muyam’ is an experience of a multitude of influences as demonstrated through the instrumentation of the Serbian House Band and String Orchestra coupled with the enchanting African harp – the Kora and the Oud in Morocco alongside what some consider as the ancestor of the piano – the Kanun in Turkey.

Sufi Medley - Abdullah Qureshi

Coke Studio brings together the iconic South Asian voice of the new millennium, Javed Bashir and the honey-dewed vocals of Humera Channa for the track Ambwa. The Coke Studio composition unfolds as a folklore transporting one into a dream like landscape. Written by Hazrat Amir Khusro the wordings elaborate a wedding of a girl and the conflicting emotions of sadness and joy that parents go through when their daughter is getting married.

The composition encapsulates the complexity of human emotion, immersing one in melancholy and nostalgia. Bashir’s earthy tones deliver the depth of the composition that is further complemented by the subtle nuances of the xylophone played by Arsalan Rabbani, while Humera’s vocals accentuate the tenderness to the arrangement.

The composition presents a mix of elements; the poignant effect of rain, the clarinet creating an impression of a shehnai that maintains a sense of auspiciousness and sanctity to the structure and finally the percussions that bring the song together.
