Folk Music
Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, music that is played on traditional instruments, music about cultural or national identity, music that changes between generations (folk process), music associated with a people's folklore, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that. Starting in the mid-20th century, a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk rev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buns are usually made from a dough of flour, milk, yeast and small amounts of sugar and/or butter.

Cambodian Music
The music of Cambodia is derived from a mesh of cultural traditions dating back to the ancient Khmer Empire, India, China and the original indigenous tribes living in the area before the arrival of Indian and Chinese travelers. With the rapid Westernization of popular music, Cambodian music has incorporated elements from music around the world through globalization.

Lowland And Border Pipers' Society
The Lowland and Border Pipers' Society was formed in the early 1980s,European Ethnological Research Centre. Scottish Life and Society: A Compendium of Scottish Ethnology, Volume 10'. Tuckwell Press, 2008. , to promote the study and playing of cauld-wind (bellows-blown) bagpipes of Northern England and south-east Scotland, such as the Scottish smallpipes, pastoral pipes, and border pipes. The organisation holds events and competitions, supplies instructional materials, and publishes a journal, ''Common Stock''. The title of the journal refers to the array of drones on Lowland bagpipes, which are grouped together in a "common stock" rather than separately attached to the bag, such as on the Great Highland bagpipe. The society has played a key role in the success of the revival of the bellows bagpipe traditions of Scotland.
