  Carabao – Music at Last.fm
Carabao have blended the acoustic/folk style of peua chiiwit with other forms of Thai music and western rock music, earning such labels as "ethnic rockers" and "Kings of 3Cha" or the "Rolling Stones of Asia".
Carabao's songs often tackle social and political issues, demanding social justice and taking on the causes of the ordinary Thai people, but they have also created love songs and more philosophical songs that carry messages for people everywhere.
Aed Carabao is loved by many but his sharp tongue and open criticism of politicians, big business and environmental destruction perhaps make it surprising that he has lasted so long.

The exclusive Military Order of the Carabao (named after the mud-loving water buffalo) was founded in 1900 by American officers fighting in the Philippines, so naturally there will be a lot of singing and cigar smoking by the 99.9 percent male crowd.

Among the assigned greeters was last year's Grand Paramount Carabao, General P.X.

 AR-News: Guam: Guamanians protest Navy's slaughter of carabao
Navy spokeswoman Lt. Thurraya Kent has said that the gargantuan wild carabao, which by conservative estimates numbered close to 300 before the culling began, roam around the Naval Ordnance Magazine, presenting both health an environmental risks, and impairing the ability of Navy personnel on the magazine to adequately perform their mission.
The Navy has long been attempting to reduce the carabao population, but Kent said attempts at adopting the carabao out to the community and using birth control techniques have not been successful on their own, so the Navy decided to add culling to the techniques used to reduce the population.
She said the Navy would continue to support the carabao adoption program organized by the Department of Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources and the Mayors Council of Guam.

While Filipinos take their time getting over their biases against carabao meat, the Philippine Carabao Center is currently focusing on improving the native carabao’s genetic make, which has deteriorated over the years.
That’s also because farmers have been castrating bigger carabaos to prevent them from mating, during which time they become fierce and uncontrollable, and a liability to farming, leaving the smaller and thinner ones to breed.
The PCC wants to develop a bigger breed of Philippine carabaos, which is why these days the spacious PCC grounds in rustic Nueva Ecija are hosting a horde of riverine buffalos with curly horns (also known as murrah buffalos).
