Ibibio Sound Machine is a clash of African and electronic elements
inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk,
disco, modern post-punk, and electro. Since their self-titled debut
in 2014, the band has forged a reputation as a high-energy live act
appearing on stages such as Later. with Jools Holland, Glastonbury,
Roskilde, and the BBC 6 Music Festival, as well as at iconic venues
such as Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London as part of Lauren
Laverne's "Wonder Women" series.
The album title Uyai (pronounced 'you eye') means "beauty" in
Ibibio language and refers to the strength and free spirit of women
in general and in particular, the courage of the women in lead singer
Eno Williams' family, to whom she often refers in her writing.. "The
songs are based more around themes of empowerment, freedom, and
the liberation of dance for women, and people in general."
