“Music makes the people come together.”
For some, music is a safe zone.
Music doesn’t discriminate, nor choose who is better of worst. Music doesn’t care what your political views or religion is.
With music, people of various lives bring together making us sing one song and dances on its tune.
And just like other music festivals in other countries, we Filipinos loves MUSIC.
MUSIC IS OUR LIFE.
Which brings to the exciting launch of Coca Cola Philippines’ newest projects, the Coke Studio PH.
The sounds of Pinoy music will get a refreshing taste as Coke Studio opens in the country, bringing a fresh experience for the local music industry.
The first of its kind in the country, Coke Studio is a music TV show that encourages collaborations among Filipino artists – bringing together different musical genres, the young and seasoned artists, and the mainstream with the indie. Coke Studio is a celebration of the rich diversity in OPM and the central unifying role of music among Filipinos.
“Coke has always been about encouraging personal expression among the younger generation of teens, and what better way to unite them but through a universal language, which is music. This is what Coke Studio is all about. We are making music our tool of choice to connect with teens,” said Stephan Czypionka, Coca-Cola Philippines Vice President for Marketing.
Coke Studio also serves as a stage that will showcase and highlight the wonderfully surprising new music that comes out from the collaborations between OPM legends and upcoming artists: Noel Cabangon, Curtismith, Moonstar88, Jensen and the Flips, Sandwich, BP Valenzuela, Gabby Alipe and John Dinopol of Urbandub, The Ransom Collective, Abra, Gracenote, singer-composer Ebe Dancel, Autotelic, Franco, and singer-songwriter Reese Lansangan.
Coke Studio is hosted by OPM powerhouse Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala, both from Eraserheads – one of the country’s most iconic rock bands. More than just a TV show, Coke Studio brings the viewer to the real experience – giving a first-hand, front seat view of the collaboration and how each artist bares their soul in the performance.
“As soon as they started playing their instruments, they just forgot about everything else,” said Marasigan on the experience inside the Coke Studio. “And a great artist will really come out with something, will produce something! Some artists may have come unprepared, but once they were in there, they just brought it out.”
But the Coke Studio experience does not stop there. An interactive Coke Studio truck will roam around the country to give university bands an opportunity to perform and interact with the artists.
You might spot this Coke Studio PH truck near you schools and university!

Coke Studio is also joining some of the biggest fiestas and festivals nationwide with the Coke Canraoke – an interactive installation loaded with OPM hits for anyone who wants to showcase their singing prowess.
Coca-Cola Philippines recognizes the strong influence of music in the lives of Filipinos – a unifying thread that goes beyond language and dialect, political views and boundaries, and even religion.
With Coke Studio, Coca-Cola Philippines brings a new taste to the sound of Pinoy music.

ReplyDeleteThank you Dear! I sewn that skirt two years ago when I saw that Coca Cola fabric in the market. And during that recent launch was the only opportunity that I've wore it :)
DeleteMusic is indeed life! We Malaysians should have Coke Studio as well! Can't wait for that to happen.
ReplyDeleteThat would be lovely! There are many music creators in Malaysia that Coca Cola should tap.
DeleteThat's so cool. I thought it was going to be like a coca cola world, but I was wrong. Such a cool post!
ReplyDeleteThank you babe!

ReplyDeleteYeah, because there are many creative talents in Malaysia too!
DeleteI am pretty skeptical about coke the drink, after watching couple of documentaries about the level of sugar content in these drinks I tend to avoid the drink. The event might be a good event but I just have an issue with the drink. Its just my opinion though !!! Cheers !!!
ReplyDeleteWell, you can support the brand and not drink the product per se.
DeleteThat looks like such a fun time! I agree with you, music brings people together. Great post, love seeing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you Crystal!
DeleteWhat a cool idea! Will it be branching out into other countries?
ReplyDeleteHello Helene,
DeleteAm not sure if there's also a Coke Studio in US but hopefully they will open more branches.
What an awesome experience. I had no idea something like this coke studio even existed. Diet coke is my weakness
ReplyDeleteI like that Coca-Cola is extending its efforts to collaborate to the budding artists and media of the 21st century.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Christiana :)
DeleteYes, everyone can relate to some type of music! Sounds like a fun concert! I had no idea Coke was incolved in music.
ReplyDeleteCoca-Cola is now collaborating with creative artists and aspiring artists. This is awesome!
DeleteThis is an excellent chance for both, the popular artists and the newbies to show what they know and can. I bet the atmosphere was more than crazy.
