2020 release. Hailed by none other than Seun Kuti as "one of the best things to come out of Lagos," Nigerian trumpeter, composer and bandleader Etuk Ubong has developed an original style he calls "Earth Music". Weaving together a unique combination of not only Afrobeat, highlife and jazz. Invited by Night Dreamer to record at Haarlem's Artone Studio, he assembled an international ensemble of the highest caliber to record his compositions direct-to-disc capturing his enigmatic live performance in its most natural and explosive form. Ubong is joined by another Lagos-based musician, Michael Awosogo, also on trumpet, and a hand-picked group of UK and Netherlands-based musicians who recorded the whole album in just one sitting on the last day of the five-day session.
