ReMix? ReFix?? ReMake???

Only in a generation like today's, can we go from coining words like "originality" to "remix" all the way to "refix" and "remake". Who even thought up the word "refix"..... like seriously?! I am up at a time I should be asleep, hoping to find sleep and trying to let my iPod nano lull me to sleep! I have a playlist for every kind of music on my iPod [call it OCD I wudn care]. I guess the mistake was listening to my "Motherland" playlist when what I wanted was SLEEP! I am a huge advocate of Ghanaian music, my entire world revolves around it. I know what to listen to when I am in a foul mood, happy mood, tired, etc. I tried something I never did and that was to put my iPod on shuffle........ That was when the horror started. After listening to 5 original songs, everything else that was played was a "refix" of an original song. I listened to a total of 100 [hitting skip after the first few seconds of course] out of the 2,016 Ghanaian songs on my iPod before finally turning shuffle off and all the 95 were a "refix" of one American song or another. That was the last thing I needed after a long day. Correct me if I am wrong but I have always had this notion that Ghana was a land brimming with talent. I figure that should include the fact that we have the potential and capabilities of writing, producing, singing, directing, etc everything in relation to our music. This is my reasoning: if you can sit for minutes, hours, days, even months to write totally original lines for a song, what then stops you from continuing with the whole "originality process" and getting a producer/ beatmaker to "cook up some beats" for you and then create your own original song that you own sole rights to? Is it really worth spending all that time thinking of and writing captivating lyrics just to record over an already established song and call your version a "refix"? Really? The worst is those who go on to actually shoot videos of "refixed" songs. To me, it is very sickening. The whole idea is sickening to the very core. I have no idea why the artistes who own the original do not press copyright charges and SUE! A friend tried explaining to me. He told me that 'the more other people "refix" a song, the more the original artiste and the original song become popular". I understand perfectly why people would want to be popular and their songs too. But to jeopardize one's originality and that of their song just for that? Let me give a very common and practical example! Do we really need to produce over 30 different "refixes" of Gyptian's Hold Yuh song? 30? Really? And with more being released each day too. Everyone seems to want a slice of this particular cake. This is one of the few times I find it embarrassing to say I am from Ghana. To conclude, all I can say is, 'AWAY WITH THE "REFIX"/"REMAKE" BULLSHIT [excuse my language]". This once, be proud of your culture, jump off the bandwagon and [I never thought I would say this but] LEARN FROM THE NIGERIANS!!
