American musical iconoclast Harry Partch believed that the 12-tone octave used for centuries in western music was fundamentally wrong, and so developed his own 43-note scale and sculpted instruments on which to play his music.

The slave trade was abolished over 150 years ago, but one form of slavery continued well into the 20th century. The so-called "coolies" comprised over one million Indians who migrated to all corners of the British Empire to carry out indentured labour.
