Coke Studio

This is not for the people who are against everything Pakistani. So if you are one of them, please don't read further.
Having always been a fan of Pakistani music, I was delighted to come across Coke Studio, a tv show across the border that has created quite a stir and some amazing music. It tries to blend classical music with the mordern music of bands like Junoon, Strings and artists like Ali Zafar. 
The first episode has Ali Azmat of Junoon combining with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan performing Garaj Baras with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan introducing a raag into an already fantastic song. The end product is magic!
Four episodes have been released for download so far. You can catch them on Youtube or on the Coke Studio Site. There you can download the movie or the song or watch it directly. 

About Coke Studio:
Coke Studio is a journey into the heart of a recording studio where you will be able to experience the magic of live music being performed by some of the most talented musicians and artists of Pakistan.Born out of a dream to merge tradition with modern, consistency with change, we have embarked on a journey to create a first hand experience for you to witness live studio sessions - something very few people have witnessed before as studio recording sessions are a secretive process normally only reserved for producers and musicians to witness and experience.
