<p>STAFF BENDA BILILI There’s no such thing as disabled for Staff Benda Bilili, a Congolese band with four paraplegic singers and guitarists at its core. Their music is joyfully upbeat and kinetic; its socially conscious lyrics are carried by soukous and rumba grooves that have bounced repeatedly between Africa and the Caribbean, topped by frenetic solos on a one-stringed electric lute. The group released a new album, “Bouger le Monde!” (“Shake the World!”) on Crammed Discs on Sept. 3; the World Music Institute presents its concert on Oct. 18 at Symphony Space. (J.
