State of Sindhi Music in the modern age: A concise perspective
Abstract
In the contemporary age Sindhi society is fervently fond of
electronic media besides, literature. The news irrespective of its size or
quality of content travels at the speed of light and hits the four corners
of the Global Village. Media truthfully covers every subject under the
sun, from society, religion, language to now infectiously 24×7 ubiquitous
politics.It's focused gaze is multi-faceted and dimensional. Its amazingly
variegated and is an unending drill.Even if one is not interested in music,
he/ she has to perforce listen to the inevitable musical signature tune
embedded in the radio or TV news. The background music captivates the
audience in the dramas and movies.The world of Sindhi music is
overwhelming and vast as it has travelled from the era of antiquity of
folk singers to classic phonograms, radio, TV, cassette, C.D., to the
present day memory card. Now a days mobile applications daily release
music albums. This advancement has adversely impacted Sindhi music
industry, though the curse of copy cat culture, parody and jarring remixing has also helped artists of highly questionable worth achieve
overnight cheap uncalled for publicity.This unfortunate trend has
damaged good reputation of bonafide genuine artists and as a
consequence of this evil, the quality has gone down miserably and solid
professionalism has suffered irretrievably.This article ponders the plight
of musicians and examines the present state of affairs in the domain of
current Music industry.
