(Pakistan, 14 June 2010) After the airing of the much-awaited
first episode 'Reason' on 06 June, the second session
'Will' continues to take the audience back to the
heart of the live recording studio to witness a new
set of unique performances. While the first episode
centered on the reason for creation, the second session
airing 20 June 2010 focuses on the element that witnesses
the formation of an idea — ‘Will’.
Indeed in the language of music, the passion to ensure
realization is as important as its inception.
'Will' features a total of five acts, each reflecting
the philosophy of horizontal growth: where there are
three contemporary pop-acts, it also has two intense
performances by Pakistan's treasured indigenous and
classical artists. Tune in and watch young and upcoming
singer Amanat Ali making his first appearance in the
session with his Urdu rendition of ‘Aisha’,
a popular track originally written in French and since
translated in almost 12 different languages. The first
known attempt in Urdu, the lyrics and meaning have
been revamped but the musical composition has stayed
true to its original. Second in the line-up are Shah
Jo Raag Fakirs led by Fakir Juman Shah with their
acapella-esque track from Shah Jo Risalo and accompanied
by their unique five-stringed traditional instrument
dhamboora. Following the Fakirs is a unique collaboration,
‘Tann Dolay’, between the energetic Noori
and groovy Zeb & Haniya. This light fusion track
is about love and longing, and showcases a range of
distinct vocals with signature Noori style musical
composition. Entity Paradigm maintain the momentum
at the Coke Studio sets next with their version of
Sajjad Ali’s ‘Bolo Bolo’. The band's
inclusion reflects Coke Studio's philosophy of growing
horizontally and including diverse music forms. 'Will'
ends with Rizwan & Muazzam and their traditional
qawwal arrangement, delivering an intense improvisational
free form ‘Naina De Akhay’, in tribute
to their uncle, the legendary Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali
Khan.
