Jidenna in Joburg

The Swank Daddy Jidenna recently lit up the stage at The Good Luck bar in Johannesburg. We managed to catch some of the best shots from the night in the gallery above.

in my opinion The Good Luck Bar was not the best venue for a strictly musical show. The venue's design and galvanised steel sheet finishing look great for the "New Age Rustique" aesthetic is was trying to create that appeals to the Hipsters, but it does not lend itself well to the acoustics inside or outside the venue. The stage is also situated in the corner so there is a limited viewing angle that had everyone bunched up into one corner. Despite that Jidenna gave a great performance delivering songs that we were familiar with like Classic Man and Little Bit More including a few songs from his upcoming album.
