Странные и прекрасные предания, которые слышала Еnо Williаms в детстве от членов своей семьи, сформировали творческую ткань, из которой впоследствии был соткан уникальный музыкальный гобелен группы Ibibiо Sоund Масhinе. Нигерийский поэтический пласт вместе с афро-электронными изысками музыкантов создают уникальное пространство, которое вмещает в себя все, что так нравится слушателю, особенно учитывая вновь выросший большой интерес к африканской культуре по всему земному шару. Помимо самой Еnо Williаms, участниками Ibibiо Sоund Масhinе являются: Аlfrеd Каri Ваnnеrmаn (гитара), Аnsеlmо Nеttо (перкуссия), Jоsе Jоуеttе (ударные), Jоhn МсКеnziе (бас), Тоnу Науdеn (тромбон, синтезатор), Sсоtt Вауlis (труба, синтезатор) и Мах Grunhаrd (саксофон, синтезатор).
AllMusic Review by Paul Simpson:
Following the warm reception of Ibibio Sound Machine's 2014 self-titled debut, the London-based collective unexpectedly signed to American indie rock powerhouse Merge Records for the release of sophomore album Uyai in 2017. With this release, the eight-member group continues its blend of West African rhythms, disco, funk, and electro, adding a bit more post-punk and new wave this time around. Dynamic frontwoman Eno Williams is still the star of the show, and while many of her lyrics (sung in Ibibio and English) are still based on Nigerian folktales, this album is more socially conscious, reflecting on recent events and the general state of the world. Opening song "Give Me a Reason," an ecstatic highlife/electroclash crossover, is about the abduction of 276 female students in Chibok, Nigeria in 2014. Dealing with such heavy topics, the album has a slightly darker edge, but it's still incredibly playful and celebratory. This is hopeful, all-inclusive music that calls out for the liberation of women and Africans, as well as freedom for the human race in general. Most of the songs are party jams, combining '80s R&B/funk melodies, shuffling drums, blazing guitars, and fiery horns with strong vocals and playful synths. "Joy (Idaresit)" has distorted post-punk bass guitar along with complex drumming and swirling echo effects. "Power of 3" brings the live drumming and bass guitar to the forefront, but is still adorned with spacy disco effects. "Trance Dance," all the way at the end of the album, is absolutely frantic, with ultra-busy drumming and giddy vocals. The album does cool down on a few occasions, however. The loose, airy "Quiet" and electro-tinged "Lullaby" are both self-explanatory, and the soft, sighing "Cry (Eyed)" is also appropriately sad and bittersweet. Uyai is a fine, boundary-pushing follow-up to an arresting debut.
Fronted by London-born Nigerian singer Eno Williams, Ibibio Sound Machine is a clash of African and electronic elements inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk, disco, and modern post-punk and electro. Evocative Nigerian poetic imagery set against an edgy Afro-Electro soundscape gives the band a unique space within the wave of modern Afrocentric sounds sweeping the globe.
