The Coke Studio philosophy for the season hurtles towards its final stages of attainment and achievement: 'Will' and 'Reason' led to 'Conception', and now following suit is the process taking an existence. ‘Form’, the fourth session, features folk music traditions of varied flavours, local and exotic, sedate and grandiose, with the only exception being the inclusion of a pop-rock number. Folk music has long survived across cultures as the art of story-telling has been intertwined with it and the pieces performed here each present a unique lore. Noori opens ‘Form’ with ‘Hor Vi Neevan Ho’, an evocative tribute to the legendary folk singer Hamid Ali Bela. Inspired from a rare, publicly unheard recording of Bela, the rendition sees the Noori boys (Ali Noor and Ali Hamza) collaborate with their mother Noor Zehra Kazim as she brings the unique music instrument sagar veena to the Coke Studio platform. In their purest rock avatar, Karavan delivers a thrilling ‘Kaisay Mumkin Hai’ next up. Acoustics are traded with electric guitars on this track, which Karavan is performing live for the first time along with backing vocalists. Re-affirming their repo for bringing in the flavors of exotic lands, Zeb & Haniya maintain the strong currents of folk music in this session with ‘Nazaar Eyle’. A folk story from Turkey, the song stands out for its mirroring of the rich heritage of subcontinent, derived from disparate cultures. Spontaneity, sweetness and verve are all thrown together as Amanat Ali and Sanam Marvi pair up in the fast-paced ‘Haq Maujood’. The kalam by Sachal Sarmast is set to a tune inspired from the traditional Sindhi dhamal rhythm and is unique for featuring a drum solo towards the finale. 'Form' concludes with a theatrical performance by Arif Lohar in ‘Mirza Sahibaan’. Based on a tragic love story of the same name, Lohar lends 'Mirza Sahibaan' his signature energetic magnetism and infectious glee. Ever-evolving and all-embracing, Coke Studio's journey continued for this fortnight. Do join us again on August 1 as we bring to you yet another kaleidoscopic session. Thank you for being a part of Coke Studio this week!
