Coke Studio's 'Blockbuster' Trends: Meet Little Pakistani Girl, Who Has Become A Global Sensation

Coke Studio Pakistan is a popular television program and Pakistan's longest-running annual music show. The concept of Coke Studio originated in Brazil in 2007 with the aim of blending two different styles of Brazilian artists. Nadeem Zaman, the then-marketing Head of the Coca-Cola Company, adopted the concept. Nadeem partnered with Rohail Hyatt, a former member of the renowned Pakistani band, Vital Signs, to create the Pakistani version of Coke Studio.

The inaugural season of Coke Studio Pakistan premiered on June 7, 2008, and featured a live audience. Rohail Hyatt produced the musical show with his wife, Umber Hyatt, and Pakistani choreographer, Nofil Naqvi. The concept was new, and it instantly made a place in everyone's hearts. With the massive success of Coke Studio Pakistan, its hit chartbusters also started making waves in India and neighboring countries.

Meet the viral little Pakistani girl, Saba, who has become an overnight sensation across the world

Apart from the production and set design of Blockbuster, the song also rules the internet due to the introduction of a cute little Pakistani girl who stunned everyone with her voice. For the uninitiated, Saba is the little girl, who featured in Blockbuster, and her poise and captivating voice have made her a 'showstopper' of the hit song. The little girl looked so confident in front of the camera that it shocked millions of people worldwide, who are in love with Saba's introduction in Blockbuster.

How did Saba get the chance to be featured in the song, Blockbuster?

People have been in love with Saba's singing and personality since the release of the song, Blockbuster. It's fair to say that Saba has played a crucial role in making the song viral on different social media platforms. However, what's interesting is that Saba was not a part of the production initially.

Yes! You read it right! In a conversation with Coke Studio Pakistan, Xulfi revealed that when the Gharwi Group came to the studio, they had a girl along with them, who was tasked to take care of a little boy. During the rehearsals, Saba was also present on the sets and observed everything.

Xulfi further revealed that when they started recording, Saba was sitting behind him on a chair and was taking care of her little brother while humming the line, "Cutey teeno mein samjhariya wey chhod de to funkariyan," from the song, Blockbuster. After listening to Saba's voice, he immediately told her to sing the same line on the mic, and her voice blew away everyone's mind on the set.

The song went viral on the internet, and Saba became an overnight sensation. For the unversed, the three female singers, Rooha, Sajida, and Abida from the Gharwi Group, also caught everyone's attention and received a lot of love. Gharwi Group belongs to the Gharwi gharana, which has produced legendary singers like Reshma and Mehdi Hassan. We hope Coke Studio Pakistan continues to create magical songs like Blockbuster in the upcoming seasons.
