Pakistan will soon be experiencing yet another season of Coke studio. Coke Studio season 10 is expected to be released in the month of August probably on 14th. The producers are obviously strings, however following the trend of season 9 this season will also have different music directors.
With the foundation laid by Rohail Hayatt, Coke studio indeed played a vital role in revival of Pakistani Music when it was in complete dissaray. Since its inception in 2008 Coke studio has remained the most popular musical television series featuring live studio music performances of various Pakistani singers.
Coke Studio Pakistan is considered a show-reel of Pakistani music and watched by people all around the globe specially in India. Pakistanis and Indians both wait curiously every year for the release of new season.
