Etuk Ubong – Africa Today
Etuk Ubong is a Nigerian Trumpeter and band leader. His music draws from Jazz and African inspirations, he developed his own genre he call “earth music”. With a strong message his music flows perfectly. The album released with the label Night Dreamer was captured live and directly pressed into disc at Haarlem’s Artone Studio, an incredible studio equipped with amazing vintage setup. This method of recording takes us back at least half a century ago. Providing one of the purest form of sound. Thanks to the incredible sound engineering work it’s like you’re sitting in the recording studio with the musicians. Collaborating with Michael Awosogo and musicians from the UK & Netherlands. The album was recorded just in one sitting from start to end on the last day of a five days session. The result is simply breathtaking.
