We are proud to host Etuk Ubong and his Afrobeat and Jazz ensemble all the way from Lagos(!) at the ever inviting A L P H A B E T on the 2nd of April.ETUK UBONG
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'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.
Etuk Ubong continues to captivate audiences with his dynamic and boundary-pushing sound, drawing on the rich musical traditions of his Nigerian roots while exploring new sonic territories.
