Coke Studio Bharat is an Indian music series that's part of the international franchise, Coke Studio. It features live studio recordings by various artists, showcasing a diverse range of music. This includes classical genres from India like Hindustani, Carnatic, Indian folk, alongside hip hop, rock, and pop music.[1]

The first season premiered on 7 February 2023, and concluded its run on 9 October 2023.[2] Ankur Tewari helmed the curation, alongside the collaboration of poet and lyricist Kausar Munir and music producer K. J. Singh.[3][4] The second season began airing on 9 February 2024. Ankur Tewari serves as the season's curator, while music supervision is handled by Universal Music India.[5][6]

Origins

[edit]

Eight years after its last season aired on MTV India, Coke Studio returned to the Indian music scene in February 2023. Spearheaded by Coca-Cola India, this revival was named Coke Studio Bharat. The reintroduction hinted at a shift towards celebrating India's diverse musical heritage.[7] Coke Studio Bharat aimed to contemporize the show by facilitating fresh collaborations among various artists. Unlike its previous partnership with MTV India, this edition focused exclusively on digital platforms, with individual songs released instead of full episodes.[8] Despite these format changes, Coke Studio Bharat stayed true to the show's essence—showcasing unique artist pairings accompanied by a house band and additional musicians.[9][10]
