‘I have been listening to Coke Studio for some time now. I feel that this is the time for Fusion so you can and should experiment with the kind of music you create. It keeps music alive. Coke Studio has its own style, which is a product of its own experiment. It has its own Sound. It has been a pleasure for me to be a part of this experience.’
On this Season of Coke Studio, Rustam brings to us the unique qualities that eccentric raags present when in cohesion with contemporary influences.
