Almost all the featured artists of the fourth episode have already performed in this season of Coke Studio except for The Sketches, who will be making their debut on the 3rd of July. Komal Rizvi who performed a duet with Akhtar Chanal Zahri in the first episode will be making a come back in the upcoming episode. She will be performing a cover of Reshma’s “Lambi Judai” whereas Sajjad Ali will perform a duet with Sanam Marvi. Below is a complete list of artists featuring in the fourth episode:
Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi’s “Ni Oothaan Waale” is the quintessential folk song. In this boldly experimental rendition, Coke Studio embraces the traditional melody, redefines the groove and offsets the combination with a catchy and brazenly contemporary riff. Within this calculated contrast of the arrangement lies the key to the fusion of east and west, traditional and contemporary. And at the very centre of this musical balancing act, in the magic of Esakhelvi’s timeless voice, the soul of indigenous folk music lives on – preserving the age-old tradition of storytelling through song, in this poignant retelling of the tragic tale of the mythical lovers, Sassi and Punno.

Lyrics
Title: Ni Ooṭhaan Waale – نی اوٹھاں والے – The Camel-riders
Language: Punjabi, Siraiki
Poetry: Bari Nizami (d. 1998) and others
Against the backdrop of the tale of Sassi and Punnun, the poet makes a mystical, poetic statement – warning of the tragic consequences of the smallest measure of complacency on the Path of Love, which is fraught with danger and deception.
Mole, Sami Sahab, Sketches and many more unfamiliar artists are revealed on these billboards, who will be featured in the upcoming episodes Coke Studio.
PS: The Coca-Cola Company has also started giving free Coke Studio CDs for buying two 1.5 litre bottles. The CDs are a collection of songs from all three seasons of Coke Studio.
