Williams, Etubom Rex
Ubok Aka Inua
Originally released in 1976, Ubok Aka Inua is the fifth album by legendary Nigerian saxophonist and band leader, Etubom
Rex Williams.
The album features Psychedelic Shoes and One Woman Is Enough Trouble, both heard on countless funk and soul
compilations.
The album was restored from the original tapes by Noah Mintz and artwork restored and recreated by Steve Lewin.
"Etubom Rex Williams occupies the genuine space of legend of Nigerian Highlife. His incredible professionalism, vast
body of work and huge personality, established him as a veritable force of the genre quite early in his career. A case
quite similar to another teenage prodigy of Highlife Music, Sir Victor Uwaifo. However any accolades he earned were well
deserved and based on a platform of hard graft and genuine love for his art. He like Uwaifo, straddles the
Inter-generational gap between the old masters of Highlife such as Bobby Benson, E.C.Arinze, Inyang Henshaw, Dr Victor
Olaiya etc and the latter generation of Eddy Okweddy, Orlando Owoh, Tunji Oyelana, Eric Akaeze, Osayomore Joseph et al."
