...twenty weeks, the organism in question is a “child.” A living, breathing child, which is about a foot long in length, weighs about a pound, and has arms, legs, fingers, and toes. He or she has distinct facial features, with wrinkly reddish skin, eyes, lips, and a nose. Many babies delivered at this point and after are able to survive indefinitely outside the body of the mother. There is even scientific evidence that between weeks 20 and 30, the unborn child is even more sensitive to pain than a living child or adult. Despite...

On Masanka Sankayi’s 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.
