In its fifth episode for 2010, Coke Studio’s annual voyage concludes with the spirit of ‘Realisation’. Coke Studio’s third edition revolved around the intricacies of inspiration, creation and evolution, and the process of discovery as the elements of reason, will and resolve come together to culminate in the Realisation of dreams and goals. The last episode ‘Realisation’ is an acknowledgment of this process.
The episode features five distinct tracks, ranging from profoundly Sufic to movingly patriotic. Amanat Ali performs the patriotic anthem ‘Ae Wattan Kay Sajeelay Jawanon’, a tribute to the legendary Madam Noor Jehan. The pride and sincerity in performing this number is evident across the board during its entirety, and it is hard not to feel moved. Next, Tina Sani’s renders ‘Nawai Ney’, derived from Maulana Rumi’s ‘Masnavi’. She is accompanied by flautist Baqir Abbas, who returns to the sets of Coke Studio and brings the analogy to life with his soothing flute play. For her third performance in Coke Studio sessions, Sufi singer Sanam Marvi renders a Sachal Sarmast work ‘Manzil-e-Sufi’. Brilliantly unique, this improvisational track stands out not only for rhythm and melody but the incorporation of various modern influences. Abida Parveen’s indomitable presence and inimitable style is showcased a final time in this season of Coke Studio with ‘Soz-e-Ishq’. With her soulful strains, Parveen takes us into depths of Sufism and evokes passion, love and spirituality. Rizwan and Muazzam with their qawwal ensemble deliver another exhilarating Sufi number ‘Jana Jogi Dey Naal’, originally penned by mystic Baba Bulleh Shah.
Just two weeks short of Pakistan’s 63rd birth anniversary, Coke Studio also brings special messages by artists featured in Coke Studio 2010. Do join us as we celebrate unity, faith and discipline!
