A night of amazing sonic experience! Captivating rhythms of live jazz, highlife, Afrobeat, followed by a rare vinyl dance party until late.lets dance!

Etuk Ubong is a Nigerian trumpeter, composer, and bandleader known for his unique fusion of Afrobeat, highlife, jazz, and the ritualistic drumming of Ekombi. His music is vibrant, energetic, and spiritually driven, reflecting his heritage and life philosophy of goodwill, peace, and love for humanity. With compositions that
are both politically charged and deeply rooted in his cultural background, Ubong’s sound has drawn comparisons to prominent UK artists such as Shabaka Hutchings and Sons of Kemet, yet remains distinctly Nigerian.
Etuk has developed his original style, which he calls "Earth Music." Often fast paced and thought-provoking, his performances feature him 14 piece band called Etuk Philosophy. His music addresses themes of injustice, humanity, and
spirituality.
Etuk's live performances have taken him to prestigious venues and festivals across the UK, Europe, and beyond. He has headlined events such as the Avernax Festival in Denmark, Sonic Pluriverse Festival in Germany, and FMM Sines Festival in Portugal, among others. His notable performances include the Roundhouse and Jazz Café in London, Ronnies Scott, and the Royal Albert Hall, as well as multiple appearances at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and Africa Festival Hertme in Netherlands.
