A groundswell of observers are taken with a raccoon that scaled the UBS building in St. Paul, Minnesota (and no, as far as we know, it’s not Rocket from “Guardians of the Galaxy”).

It’s been a while since sisters Hélène and Célia Faussart, a.k.a. Les Nubians, have released an album. Still, their music — a blend all their own of R&B, African influences and neo-soul — sounds as fresh as it did when Les Nubians began some 20 years ago. The duo from France are probably best known for their single “Makeda,” a leisurely track that puts their dulcet voices front and center. More recently, in 2010, Les Nubians put out a well-received album called “Nü Revolution.”... Читать дальше...
