Music--original or remix

time to time i hear people liking the oldies or 80s/90s music or remix of the beautiful oldies and then todays music which appears a big shorgul to me.

Would like to know what our young viwers thing of music.

I know we donot have tansen any more but the music we had was the best in the whole world..which we did lose during and after british raj. Have we reached their yet or are we even trying? Is today's music really a music or just a way to get instant fame.

Your thoughts pl😃

Remixes are good, when done tastefully and enough creativity has gone into them. After all art is kalliedospopic...you see 'mona lisa', you hear 'tum itna jo muskurarahi ho, kya gham hai jisko chhupa rahi ho,...its the same thing... artists do get inspired from other artistes..Dali redrew 'the last supper' Rodin's 'Thinker' came from a Michaelangelo painting in 'Cistine Chapple'. Movies like Maqbool and now Omkara are recreations of Shkespeare, most greats of classical music have done their own version of 'Vaishnav jan to...' or 'Jai Jagdish Hare...' or 'Raghupati raghav...' In fact I have compiled a CD with 9 versions of 'Raghupati raghav' from 'Purab Paschim' to KKHH to Bismillah khan and each is different in its own way.
Digressing back to the original topic..remixes by themselves are not good or bad..its the effort put into them...artistic originality that makes difference. Jagjit's version of 'Babul Mora' is far more satisfying than Saigal's. Recently someone did remix of "Chandan sa badan' with classical touch in Yeman...Mukesh was not a great classical singer and the new one sounds much better...Just to take advantage of new recording technologies and digital sounds and instruments, remixes are worth doing but - like everything else - you have to kiss a whole lot of frogs before one of them will turn into a prince!

Please forgive my spelling, I am an impressionistic speller -as long as you get the impression it is good enough for me.

Abhijit ji, this is fusion that you are talking about. no harm in trying new beats or adding more structure . Jugal bandi fusions are the best but the remix like Kanta lagga 🤢 are worst damage to music industry.
