The nine women of Bella Mondo win over yet another audience.The group is one of just a handful of all-
women ensembles(乐队) in Ivory Coast.
It all started in 2007.Prisca Allou was a music student.A music producer came to see her.He said he wanted to
make an all-female ensemble to keep a promise to his late mother.
Allou got on board and was charged with recruiting (招募) other members.“It wasn’t easy at first.Some
parents were against it.You know，in Africa，the place of women is often seen as being either in an office or at
home.That was the fixed image.” Allou spread the word and took out ads in local papers.Most of the girls she found
were not professional players.“I just played some tamtam.I learned to play drums when I joined Bella Mondo，”
one member said.The girls spent the next four years learning to play their instruments.Many gave up along the
way，but eight of them soldiered on with Allou，and Bella Mondo was founded.
The band plays original songs and covers.Their music spans a wide range of styles：funk，reggae，pop
music.They released their first album in 2013...and have performed in Paris，Dakar，Cotonou and，of course，
here at home in Abidjan.
You can see them nearly every Thursday at this bar，the same place that gave the band its start years ago.“Oh
yes，I was surprised at first.A woman singing，you see that every day，but an entire band，playing all the
instruments and everything? It was extraordinary.I was dumbstruck.Bella Mondo is a great band，” one music
fan said.The women are now working on their second album.

Some cities and lawmakers are resisting crime-fighting tech owing to bias(偏见) and accuracy concerns.Police
departments around the U．S.are asking citizens to trust them to use facial recognition software as a handy tool in
their crime-fighting toolbox.But some lawmakers—and even some technology giants—are against it.
Take the western Massachusetts city of Springfield，where many residents are Latino or black.Springfield
police say they have no plans to use facial recognition systems，but some City Council members are moving to
block any future government use of the technology anyway.
At an October hearing on the subject，Springfield City Councilman，Orlando Ramos，defended the
technology.“The facial recognition technology does not drop a net from the sky and put you to prison，” he
said，noting that it could serve as a useful investigative tool.However，he doesn’t want to take any risks.“It would
only lead to more racial discrimination，” he said，citing studies that found higher error rates for facial
recognition software used to identify women and people with darker skins.
Similar debates across the country are highlighting racial issues and concerns about the technology’s
accuracy.Axon，which supplies body-worn cameras nationwide，had already formed an artificial intelligenceethics board(伦理委员会) that concluded facial recognition technology isn’t yet dependable enough to justify its
use on police cameras.Axon Chief Executive Rick Smith said，“Even if facial recognition software was perfectly
accurate，the ability to track people raises privacy concerns.”“Do we want everybody who walks near a police
officer to get their face identified and logged in a database？” he said.
Nevertheless，Todd Pastorini，general manager at biometric forensics(生物取证) company DataWorks
Plus ， said it’s the “extremely effective” method of running images through photos to help identify a
suspect.“Society and the public are going to get frustrated，if governments refuse to adopt a technology that keeps
improving，”he said.In his eyes，facial recognition hits are just one part of an investigation.
