ETUK UBONG & THE ETUK PHILOSOPHY
Lagos-based Etuk Ubong is part of a long line of fiery, Afrobeat-rooted, hard bop-influenced trumpeters, which stretches back to Tunde Williams who was a founder member of Fela Kuti’s seminal band Africa 70 in the 60s.

Etuk Ubong styles his output ‘earth music’ which is characterised by urgent tempos, powerful horn charts and highly charged socio-political lyrics.

In other words, mindblowing stuff!
