Description
Fronted by charismatic Nigerian singer Eno Williams, expect a kaleidoscopic array of house, post-punk, funk, afrobeat and disco, bangers and ballads to unite the dancefloor.
Eno’s otherworldly voice and PK Ambrose’s throbbing bass drive a clash of African and electronic elements inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk and disco and modern post-punk and electro. This electrifying group of musicians are a sleek machine and their sexy, synth-driven soundscape brings a ’90s retro-futurist vibe that's engulfing club circles right now.
Ibibio Sound Machine bring tracks from their latest album Pull the Rope to the Festival. In this latest release the hope, joy and sexiness of their music remains but, further honing the edge of their acclaimed 2022 album Electricity, the connection they aim to foster has shifted venues – from the sunny buoyancy of a sunlit festival to a sweat-soaked, all-night dance club. The atmosphere has changed, but you’re still having the time of your life.
