Nigerian electronic pioneer William Onyeabor has experienced a massive resurgence in recent times. But while the mysterious musician is retired and living a reclusive life, the “Atomic Bomb! Who is William Onyeabor?” supergroup has been bringing his music to the live setting recently.
Now, the group have been announced for this year’s Latitude Festival, running from 17-20 July at Henham Park, Suffolk. They’ll include members of Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem, as well as Money Mark, Sinkane, Scritti Politti and Mahotella Queens.
