All of us know that a remix is an unconventional
version of an already recorded song, its original, undisturbed version.
Talking about remixes, isn't Remix culture popular everywhere? One can
say that the rise of Remix in music emerged during the 1970s and 1980's
in relation to art and media at the beginning of the twenty-first
Century. We can also view a 'Remix' as binder, taking us back to the
previous era but of course, not in its original shape. Today, we bring
to you a glimpse of few remixed hits in the Tamil music industry that
you might have missed.
Who can not relate to "Ponmagal Vandhal" which
originally appeared in the movie Sorgam which decades later was remixed
and used in the movie Azhagiya Thamizh Magan. Yet another remix hit was
"Vechukava" from Nallavannukku Nallavan was used for Silambattam. The
evergreen hit "Atho andha paravai pola" was yet again remixed and used
in the movie Ayirathil Oruvan. Contrary to the belief that it may not be
well accepted, it is amazing to note that the remixed version not only
establish a connect with the previous generation who have heard the
songs but also the current generation which love the remixed song. Other
examples of best Tamil remixes would include "Yenna ma kannu sowkiyama"
from blockbuster hit movie Mr.Bharath used recently for Dhanush starrer
Thiruvilayadal Arambam. "Thottal Poo Malarum" managed to capture the
hearts of many from the movie New as we heard singer Harini and
Hariharan's voice do the magic like the previous version in the movie
Padakotti.
With the remixes booming on one side, it is also
essential to remember that With the YouTube generation uploading
remixes, parodies, and mash-ups of copyrighted material they are in a
way disrupting the royalty due to the musicians themselves. Coming to
the theory of remix, we can call remixing the art of including the
aesthetics of old song etc in terms of art, music, and new media in the
recent era. We are all a part of the remix revolution where we are
taking earlier composed ideas, tweaking them and building upon them.
