London-based live music collective Ibibio Sound Machine will be performing at The National with special guest TBA on Thursday, April 26th from 7:30-10:00pm with special guest TBA. The band was started by producers Max Grunhard, Leon Brichard and Benji Bouton, who were all enthusiasts of African grooves from the 1970s and '80s. This trio began creating drum'n'bass tracks around the voice of frontwoman Eno Williams. Their sound is inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk and disco, post-punk, and modern electro.
