The London-based collective unleashes an incredibly vibrant, high-energy fusion of West African highlife, post-punk disco, and electronic dance music. Frontwoman Eno Williams delivers powerful, commanding vocals primarily in the Nigerian Ibibio language, tackling themes of female empowerment and political liberation. It is a wildly infectious, hyperactive celebration of global club culture.
