10 piece Nigerian Afrobeat, Highlife & Jazz ensemble led by trumpeter & composer Etuk Ubong ๐ท๐ณ๐ฌEtuk 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, Ubongโs sound has drawn comparisons to prominent UK artists such as Shabaka Hutchings and Sons of Kemet, yet remains distinctly Nigerian. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Etuk has developed his original style, which he calls "Earth Music." Often fast-paced and thought-provoking, his performances feature his 10 piece band called Etuk Philosophy. His music addresses themes of injustice, humanity, and spirituality. ๐ชทโจ
