Bhangra Music A RIP Off?

Buying Bhangra Music A RIP Off?


Have you ever walked into a music store and heard a track being played through the load speaker system? You then think to your self this is a good track and ask someone working their what the track is called and what album it is from? They tell you, and you decide to part with your hard earned cash and go and buy the album. You go home and listen to it after listening to it you relize that you have spent 9 on a album in which you only like 2 song's out of the 6 it had on it. Bhangra CD's are badly over charged. Bhangra albums are costing in excess of 8 (if the album is hyped up then it costs more). Most albums only have about 8 tracks, you may think 8 tracks is alot but when you exclude the 40 second intro, and the duplication of songs (a song which has been remixed twice as a Garage mix and a Desi mix). You are left with 5 songs. Bhangra singles are worse you are expected to pay 7 for a bhangra single which only features about 4 songs.

Examples I can use for this are:

A.S. Kang - Gani
Gani (Two Step Garage)
Gani
Mitro (Slow Jam)
Mitro
Terian Gulabi Buliyan (Strictly R&B)
Terian Gulabi Buliyan

Has 6 songs but remixed twice each leaving 3 songs.

Bally Jagpal - Untruly Yours
Aja Sohneya (Simrans Mix)
Akha Jagho Meti Rendiya
Mur Vatneyia
Ranjha

4 tracks but the price tag is way to expensive.

The Senator - Nothing To Lose
Dawain Janian (Instrumental)
Dowain Janian (Enter Selecta)
Hass Hogia (Drop Da Funk, Drop Da Bass)
Hass Hogia (Instumental)
Hass Hogia (Rock The Funky Beats)
Intro
Koka (Instrumental)
Koka (No Scrubs, No Pigeons)
Sohna 2000 (Dub Mix)
Sohna 2000
The Senator -vs- Dholi X

Originally this has 11 tracks, taking away the duplicates and intro your left with 5 tracks and asked to pay 8 for it.

Theirs many many many more examples which I could use but I'll stop here.

Some people can argue that the remixs are good and can listen to the same song remixed to two diffrent genres but it does get boring listening to the same song lyrics with just a diffrent beat behind it. You can also say that the artist is just making a living but please remember that most of these artists you are talking about are DJ's they don't sing the songs just remix them so they must be making quite alot of money from doing weddings/gigs etc.

This petition has been created because I want to know how many people feel the same way I do about Bhangra CD's. I feel that they are highly over charged and in most cases are not value for money.

If you feel the same way about this then please do sign the petition.
