Coke Studio is a Pakistani music television series which features live studio-recorded music performances by various artists. The show was produced by founder of the first Pakistani pop band Vital Signs Rohail Hyatt until sixth season, and is now produced by the Pakistani band Strings. It is sponsored by Coca-Cola Pakistan. Starting in 2008, Coke Studio has been popular throughout the country, receiving critical acclaim and frequently being rebroadcast on numerous television and radio stations.
The program focuses on a fusion of the diverse musical influences in Pakistan, including eastern classical, folk, qawwali, ghazal, bhangra, Sufi and contemporary hip hop, rock and pop music. The show provides a platform for renowned as well as upcoming and less mainstream artists, of various genres, regions and languages, to collaborate musically in live studio recording sessions.
Coke Studio also has become an international franchise, with other countries adopting local versions. Its featured artists on each episode are backed by a house band and guest artists.
The format of Coke Studio was devised by the The Coca-Cola Company in Pakistan and Rohail Hyatt, founder of the first Pakistani pop band Vital Signs, along with his wife Umber Hyatt. Both were the executive producers of the show.
