Ibibio Sound Machine

Band on the Wall, 17 Jan 2026


Fronted by Nigerian singer Eno Williams, this incredible, energetic band crosses all boundaries. Their sound is a unique clash of African and electronic elements, inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West-African funk and disco and modern post-punk and electro.

Ibibio Sound Machine were founded by Eno Williams and Max Grunhard in 2013 with the idea of combining the unique sound of the Ibibio language that Eno spoke growing up in Nigeria, with both traditional West African and more modern electronic musical elements. They linked up with Merge Records in 2017 for Uyai and returned with Doko Mien in 2019 and have gone on to win global critical acclaim.
