With Ae Ajnabee, Coke Studio Bharat bridges generations, cultures and sonics. We are excited to have opened the season with the extremely talented teen heartthrob Aditya Rikhari whose fandom combined with folk maestro Kutle Khan's roots celebrates the very core of Coke Studio Bharat. DJ Ravator has done an amazing job at bringing these 2 diverse worlds into one melting pot that marks the start of Coke Studio Bharat 4.”Aditya Rikhari said, “Ae Ajnabee captures a feeling many of us have experienced. Coke Studio Bharat gave us the space to approach it honestly and believe that truth is what listeners will respond to.”Kutle Khan said, "Folk music has always carried the history of longing, it is built from it. That, to me, is what music should do, and Coke Studio Bharat created a space where that conversation is possible."
