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] |

The album includes many of Craigie's best-known songs, including "28" which is about the 27 Club and the deaths of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin ...

The Apocalypse Is Over
''The Apocalypse Is Over'' is the third studio album by the folk-singer John Craigie. It was released in August 2013 on Zabriskie Point Records. The album was inspired by Craigie's regular trips to New Orleans, where he was captivated by the music and spirit he found there. Blending jazz, folk, blues and country, the songs transport listeners from life in the French Quarter ("Preservation Hall") to Van Gogh’s descent into madness in the south of France ("Rachel") and to the lonely life of a musician on the road ("We Ain’t Leavin’ this Bar Patrick (Till We Find You Some Love)"). As with ''Montana Tale'' and ''October is the Kindest Month'', Randy Schwartz appears on drums and Cian Riordan is chief engineer. Steve Adams also returns on bass and as co-producer with Craigie and Schwartz.

KHUM
Administrative divisions of Cambodia have several levels. Cambodia is divided into 24 provinces (''Khaet''; km, ខេត្ត, ) and the special administrative unit Phnom Penh. Though a different administrative unit, Phnom Penh is at province level, so ''de facto'' Cambodia has 25 provinces and municipalities. Each province is divided into districts (''Srok''/''Khan''; , /) - there are 159 districts throughout the country’s provinces, and 12 are in Phnom Penh. Each province has one capital district (changed to " city/town", ''krong''; , ), e.g. for Siem Reap, it's ''Srok Siem Reap''. The exceptions are the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Kandal, Mondulkiri, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear and Ratanakiri, where the province and the capital district does not match. A district of a province, which is called ''Srok'' (, ), is divided into "communes" (''khum''; , ). A commune is further divided into "villages" (, ). In Phnom Penh the districts are called ''khan'' (, ), and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
