I am a big fan of neo-soul/neo-funk, so good to see Indian artists also doing something in that style.
A remix of an old Pakistani* song.
*XTM edit; I do not condone intellectual theft. The original version was sung in Pakistan in the late 80’s.
Please note to all I’m now going to be far less tolerant of tricks & provocations on ALL sides.
It’s in very poor taste to appropriate the hard & beautiful work of a now deceased female artist.
This ….is a good version. But the OG is……….magic. Stumbled across the original one a couple of months ago, have been playing it on repeat so often.
Yes the original is Pakistan; BB is trying to troll.
I am now going to be much sharper in moderation.
It is not intellectual theft.
It is a remix and I assume the royalty holders are getting royalties.
THIS version is done by an Indian artist which is what I am putting here.
Lots of British desi pop samples Indian artists and those are still British songs.
I think the lines on….what is “Indian” and “Pakistani” music are nebulous. Not talking about individual artist copyrights etc of course.
Are you absolutely certain his intent was to troll?
I understand that decision making, moderation, editing is a time-sink. My input would be that lets aim for consistency and ..even-handedness, along with as light a touch as possible.
More light than heat of course – onus on contributors on that front.
