\"\"(Pakistan, 16 May 2011) Coke Studio<\/a>\u2019s journey continues into its fourth season<\/a> this year with their first episode airing 22 May 2011. While revealing an ever-widening range of musical influences and styles, enhancing perceptions and enriching relationships with music, Coke Studio\u2019s first episode for the season will represent a unique cross-section of musical diversity in Pakistan \u2013 presenting fresh interpretations of contemporary songs as well as timeless classics on the musical platform.<\/p>\n

Episode 1 features \u201cTo Kia Hua<\/a>\u201d by Bilal Khan<\/a>, who is one of the newest singers to emerge on Pakistan\u2019s pop music scene. A deceptively simple melody, \u201cTo Kia Hua\u201d goes through a metamorphosis at Coke Studio, adapting smoothly to the Eastern groove provided by veteran House Band percussionist, Babar Ali Khanna<\/a> on dholak. \"\"Also featuring in Episode 1 are progressive rock band Mizraab<\/a> with their exhilarating \u201cKuch Hai<\/a>\u201d, replete with classic rock elements that have been fused at Coke Studio with a distinct Eastern flavor. The song features heavy acoustic guitar riffs from Faraz Anwar<\/a>\u2019s, powerful alaaps from qawwal Mannan and the compelling punch of the darbuka, played by Mizraab\u2019s percussionist Nasir Ahmed. Coke Studio\u2019s first episode also presents a captivating collaboration between Balochi folk legend Akhtar Chanal Zahri<\/a> and contemporary pop songstress Komal Rizvi<\/a> together in, \u201cDaanah pe Daanah<\/a>\u201d. Originally written and composed by Zahri himself, the song fondly sings the praises of the province he hails from. Presenting an unconventional alliance, this Coke Studio rendition of the popular folk song fuses with Sindhi Sufic classic \u201cLal Meri Path\u201d, taking both well-loved anthems to a new level. \"\"Reborn against the backdrop of a modern funk groove the song becomes a symbolic celebration of diversity. The first episode of season also introduces an eclectic hybrid \u201cIk Aarzu<\/a>\u201d – an exciting amalgamation of a brand new Jal<\/a> original and two timeless classics, \u201cDum Must Qalandar\u201d and \u201cTere Ishq Nachaya\u201d. With this interesting merger Gohar Mumtaz<\/a> and Farhan Saeed<\/a> of Jal have blended modern pop with traditional tunes. The first episode of the season further introduces the first of its classical numbers this season, \u201cSighra Aaween Saanwal Yaar<\/a>\u201d as rendered by Sanam Marvi<\/a> in raag Malkauns, and in the words of Sachal Sarmast and Sultan Bahu atop the bluesy backdrop created by the House Band.<\/p>\n

Coke Studio\u2019s experienced and versatile House Band also features this season with Asad Ahmed<\/a> on guitar, Babar Ali Khanna on dholak, Jaffer Ali Zaidi<\/a> on keyboard, Javed Iqbal<\/a> on violin, Kamran ‘Mannu’ Zafar<\/a> on bass, Louis J. ‘Gumby’ Pinto<\/a> on drums, Omran \u2018Momo\u2019 Shafique<\/a> on guitar, Sikandar Mufti<\/a> on multi-percussions, Zoe Viccaji<\/a> on backing vocals and Zulfiq \u2018Shazee\u2019 Ahmad Khan<\/a> also on multi-percussions. Joining the house band this season are two new talents: Rachel Viccaji<\/a> as a backing vocalist and Raheel Manzar Paul<\/a> on multi-percussions.<\/p>\n
