Fronted by Nigerian singer Eno Williams, Ibibio Sound Machine bring their clash of African and electronic elements to Celtic Connections.
Inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk & disco and modern post-punk & electro, the band’s self-titled debut album was released in 2014 on Soundway Records. Four more albums have been released on Merge Records, including 2024’s Pull the Rope.
Ibibio Sound Machine is Eno Williams (Vocals), Alfred Kari Bannerman (Guitar), Anselmo Netto (Percussion), Jose Joyette (Drums), Derrick McIntyre (Bass), Tony Hayden (Trombone, Synth), Scott Baylis (Trumpet, Synth), and Max Grunhard (Saxophone, Synth).
