Production
Speaking at the launch of Coke Studio, Rohail Hyatt said:

"'Working on Coke Studio 4 has been a wondrous experience. The process of discovering, deciphering and understanding so many different samples of regional and classical music has been a huge undertaking and the responsibility of then reinterpreting and reinventing the material – repackaging it visually and musically – has been an immense challenge. Coke Studio 4 has been a captivating journey. It has been a portal to discovery, inducing our curiosity and compelling us to dwell on the uniqueness of our heritage with renewed pride and respect. Altogether, CS4 has been a very stimulating and rewarding challenge.'"
