...track, electronic effects add a sheen of crackle to the singer’s voice, but it is ultimately the beat of skin-against-wood that carries the song. Then there’s Sobanza Mimanisa, who root their song “Kiwembo” in a distorted, angular guitar riff; in a decidedly non-Western move, melody seems to support rhythm, rather than the other way around. Some of the tracks downplay the innovation of electric/acoustic fusion in favor of emphasizing the blended cultural milieu of the music and Kinshasa. Masanka Sankayi sing one of their songs...
...showing promoters that you’re good and that you have a following,” he says. Blanks.’ did not seem affected by the crowd’s reticence and they launched into their set.They played with their usual blend of disco backbeats and angular rock progressions.

The angular funk of the song, a throwback to some of Prince’s earlier work, calls for a video that is simply sexy and fun, and “Black Sweat” by and large delivers. I’m sure Jehovah, if not all of his witnesses, would...
Over the past couple of decades, however, engineers armed with an array of high-tech materials and sophisticated ideas about angular momentum and moments of inertia have transformed the sport--and, most notably, the bowling ball. Nowadays the ball comes with a dizzying array of options, each imparting a different spin and roll. So where serious bowlers used to carry just one ball to the lanes, they now haul around half a dozen or more to be ready for whatever conditions they might encounter. "It's just like a golfer carrying 14 different clubs," says Bill Wasserberger, director...
