Download or read book Legends of the Golden Venus written by Joseph C. Pereira and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the hey day of the sixties, the Golden Venus (a now defunct night-club) hosted its regular tea dances that attracted some of Singapore's best (and notorious) rock 'n' roll, blues and R&B bands ever, including the Checkmates, the Quests, the Straydogs, Pests Infested, Fried Ice, High Ground, Rotten Bodies and Barbed Wire. These bands pioneered Singapore's live music scene in the sixties - they opened shows for one another, jammed together, stole each other's gigs, and shared their treasured 45s and Fender amps. Most importantly, they blazed a trail of bold and rocking music that drew from the British Invasion, Woodstock, and the sixties folk revival. This book documents a lost era and gives due credit to some of the bands and musicians who were responsible. Joseph Pereira has assembled a fascinating compilation of interviews, commentary, and photographs to tell the story of the pioneering local musicians of Singapore. This is history, music, and nostalgia with the amplifier cranked to 10!

Book excerpt: During the 1930s, the Greek architect and writer Panos Tzelepis (1894-1976) recorded the memories and tales of Stavris, an older relative, who as a young man had lived amongst the underworld figures of late-19th century Istanbul. Realising the importance of these memoirs as a unique record of life during the final decades of the Ottoman Empire, Panos Tzelepis published them in two volumes, the first appearing in 1965 under the title "In the Time of the Sultans." In this first collection of urban chronicles we encounter colourful characters, from a Jewish doctor who treated the poor, the owner of a secret hash-den, the madam of a high-class brothel, to the lives of the kabadayi, or "tough guys," who developed their own codes of honour, conduct and social justice in the sprawling multi-cultural metropolis that was Istanbul towards the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th. Translated into English for the first time by Charles Howard, a prominent archiver and compiler of rebetiko music, Tzelepis's literary renderings of Istanbul and its people are given new life in a book brimming with intricate and dazzling details of a world that has long since vanished.

Download or read book Beyond the Roof of the World written by Benjamin D. Koen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Western medicine has conventionally separated music, science, and religion into distinct entities, traditional cultures throughout the world have always viewed music as a bridge that connects the physical with the spiritual. Now, as people in even the most technologically advanced nations across the globe struggle with obtaining affordable and reliable healthcare coverage, more and more people are turning to these ancient cultural practices of ICAM healing (integrative, complementary, and alternative medicine). With Beyond the Roof of the World, Dr. Benjamin D. Koen unearths the Western separation of healing from spiritual and musical practices as a culturally determined phenomenon, and proves the relevance of medical ethnomusicology in light of the globally spreading ICAM healing practices. Using the culture found within the towering Pamir Mountains of Badakhshan Tajikistan, in a place poetically known as the Roof of the World, as the paradigm of ICAM healing, Koen shows spirituality and musicality to be intimately intertwined with one's physical life, health and healing. For the first time, Koen bridges the widespread gap between ethnomusicology and music therapy. Koen's extensive research and emersion into the Badakhstan culture provides the reader with an "insider" perspective while maintaining an "observer's" view, as he infuses the text with relevant scholarship.
