We celebrate diversity: Ankur Tewari on new season of ‘Coke Studio Bharat’New Delhi, Feb 8 (PTI) Music is not like the Olympics where you compete with different countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, says composer Ankur Tewari, who believes the idea behind “Coke Studio Bharat” is to celebrate India’s diversity. Tewari serves as the curator of the second season of “Coke Studio Bharat”, the Indian chapter of the international music franchise of Coke Studio. Asked about the standing of “Coke Studio Bharat” in the music scene where “Coke Studio Pakistan” and “Coke Studio Bangla” enjoy massive popularity even with Indian listeners, the music composer said it’s nice to see the Indian subcontinent shine with musical stories from different countries. In India and in ‘Coke Studio Bharat’, we celebrate diversity and the regional pride whether it’s Karnataka, Gujarat or Kashmir. Last February, “Coke Studio India” resumed its programming after an eight-year break, rechristened as “Coke Studio Bharat”.
