Ibibio Sound Machine

Fronted by Nigerian singer Eno Williams, Ibibio Sound Machine is a clash of African and electronic elements inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West-African funk & disco and modern post-punk & electro. 

Long lauded for their jubilant, explosive live shows,  Ibibio Sound Machine fully capture that energy and  communication on new album Doko Mien, the follow-up to their Merge  debut Uyai. In a glowing piece in the New York Times, those  songs were praised for following “in the tradition of much  African music, [making] themselves the conscience of a  community.” By pulsing the mystic shapes of Williams’ lines  through further inventive, glittering collages of genre, Ibibio  Sound Machine crack apart the horizon separating cultures,  between nature and technology, between joy and pain,  between tradition and future.
