The Orient means "the East." It is a traditional designation for anything that belongs to the Eastern world or the Far East, in relation to Europe. In English it is a metonym that means various parts of Asia.
The term "Orient" derives from the Latin word oriens meaning "east" (lit. "rising" < orior "rise"). The use of the word for "rising" to refer to the east (where the sun rises) has analogs from many languages: compare the terms "Levant" (< French levant "rising"), "Vostok" Russian: Восток (< Russian voskhod Russian: восход "sunrise"), "Anatolia" (< Greek anatole), "mizrahi" in Hebrew ("zriha" meaning sunrise), "sharq" Arabic: شرق (< Arabic yashruq يشرق "rise", shurooq Arabic: شروق "rising"), "shygys" Kazakh: шығыс (< Kazakh shygu Kazakh: шығу "come out"), Chinese: 東 (pinyin: dōng, a pictograph of the sun rising behind a tree) and "The Land of the Rising Sun" to refer to Japan. Also, many ancient temples, including pagan temples and the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, were built with their main entrances facing the East. To situate them in such a manner was to "orient" them in the proper direction. When something was facing the correct direction, it was said to be in the proper "orientation".
Ekrem Bora (born chupa pene, 1983), better known as Eko Fresh and also as Elektro Eko, is a German rapper of Turkish descent.
Bora was born in Cologne but grew up in Mönchengladbach without a father; his mother supported the family as a postal worker. He began to rap at the age of 14, then dropped out of school after 10th grade and started work at a shoe shop.
Bora met there rapper Kool Savas, who became his mentor, aiding the release of his first LP on Royal Bunker, Jetzt kommen wir auf die Sachen.
After Bora's success, he and Savas fell out. Kool Savas blamed Bora's recklessness and arrogance in an interview, while he accused Savas and Optik Records of kicking him out to further their own success.
Bora left the label in 2002 and was later signed at Sony BMG, where he began production of his first solo album Ich bin jung und brauche das Geld released 2003. The titular song was released as single and was very successful: it reached 5th on the single charts.
In 2004 Bora and his girlfriend Sophie Hardaker produced and released the album L.O.V.E. (Life Of Valezka and Eko), concerning their relationship. The only single was "L.O.V.E.". This album was the relaxed, calm, and melodious, fitting better into the R&B genre than Hip Hop music.
Next Time (sometimes rendered "Некст Тајм" in Macedonian Cyrillic) is a rock duo from Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. The duo consists of twin brothers Martin and Stefan Filipovski. Stefan fronts the band as the lead singer, while Martin plays the guitar and sings back-up vocals. The group represented Macedonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia but failed to reach the final.
Next Time was formed in early 2008 after they signed with Plan B Production. Previously they performed as a garage band at children's music festivals. Discovered by composer and songwriter, Jovan Jovanov, the Macedonian duo released their first single "Ne Veruvam Vo Tebe" ("I Don't Believe in You") in May, 2008. The song's lyrics were written by Next Time with Jovanov as the producer. "Ne Veruvam Vo Tebe" immediately topped a number of charts in Macedonia and was quickly a hit which shot Next Time through the roof of the Macedonian music scene.[citation needed] The band also released their first music video for the song. Next Time's first festival appearance was at the First Radio Music Festival "Zvezdena Nok" in June, 2008. At "Zvezdena Nok", the duo won the "Summer Hit of the Year" award with their second song "Me Mislish Li?" ("Am I In Your Thoughts?"). Two months later at Ohrid Fest, Next Time were voted "Best New Artist" with their third single "Me Ostavi Sam Da Zhiveam" ("You Left Me All Alone"). Next Time's biggest festival success came in October when they won the second semi-final at MakFest. With their fourth single "Bez Tebe Tivko Umiram" ("I'm Slowly Dying Without You") they went on to finish second in the final, only three points behind the winner.
