As we welcome the new producers, I want to thank Strings from the bottom of my heart for their passion and commitment towards cementing Coke Studio as a world class asset.”
Strings were able to build strong bridges between the old and the new; and they enriched the more traditional genres like classical, folk and qawaali.
In addition, they put forward a list of musicians and helped them to establish themselves as recognized artists.
