Con and Concepts

We’d “YouTubed” all the Coke Studio,Pakistan,shows,so when news leaked that MTV was launching Coke Studio India,imagine our delight. The show turned out to be a damp squib that we didn’t want to waste tears on. Clearly,concept shows were an idea who’s time had yet to come. What did come like a strain of fresh music was The Dewarists,a rockumentary on Star World,that had musicians collaborating with artistes from different genres. While concept shows made a lukewarm start,the M returned to MTV. Thumbs up to MTV Unplugged and MTV Roots.
