Coke Studio Explorer is a Pakistani web television music series created by musicians Ali Hamza and Zohaib Kazi.[1] As a part of new module, it is a spin-off to a Coke Studio Pakistan and prequel to its eleventh season.[2] Instead of studio recording settings from its original format, the series follows the live music collaborations of Kazi and Hamza with regional but largely unknown artists discovered by the duo in five regions of Pakistan.[3][4] It began airing on Coke Studio Pakistan's official YouTube and Facebook channels on 3 July 2018, concluding with five episodes on 11 July 2018.
The series has received largely positive reviews from critics, with particular praise having been given for its new module, production values, concept and performances.
