On the occasion of World Music Day on Monday, singer-composer Shekhar Ravjiani of the popular duo Vishal-Shekhar has shared his take on remixes, which currently play a dominant role in Bollywood music.

"There was a time when remixes too had a strong, fresh, creative take, making them popular with people. They also served as a great way to give the younger generation a glimpse of yesteryear classics and widen their tastes in music to include those brilliant compositions and tracks. In the recent past, remixes have degenerated into unimaginative and hastily put together numbers that do not elevate the original in any way," Shekhar said.
