The fresh season will also see new producers as long-time produce Rohail Hayat quits, replaced by Strings duo Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadia.
Coke Studio’s last season season received flak for featuring international artists which changed the flavour of the show, not really hitting it well with the music lovers.
This seasons’ house band line-up includes Aahad Nayani on drums, Babar Ali Khanna on dhol, Imran Akhoond on guitars, Jaffer Ali Zaidi on keyboard, Khalid Khan on bass, Sikandar Mufti on percussions.
Momin Durrani, Rachel Viccaji and Sara Haider will accompany them on backing vocals.
Jaffer Zaidi and Sikander Mufti have retained their place in the studio.
Amir Zaki, Adeel Bukhari, Arsalan Rabbani, Faraz Anwar, Ghulam Abbas, Hamza Jafri, Jaffer Hussain, Javed Iqbal, Kaleem Khan, Mubashir Admani, Omran Shafique, Sajid Ali, Saleem Khan, Shallum Xavier, Tanweer Hussain, and Umer Darar are the guest musicians for season 7.
With season seven, Coke Studio intends to bounce back to its glory.
We wish it all the best and look forward to some groovy numbers!
