Johnnie, Jazz & Whisky returns to Lagos with Adekunle Gold

Adekunle Gold performing at Johnnie, Jazz Whisky recently in Lagos

Johnnie, Jazz & Whisky, Nigeria’s biggest and brightest afro-jazz music platform, reemerged Saturday, March 31, 2018 for another lush experience at Cubana Lounge in downtown Victoria Island, Lagos. Staying true to its promise of a night where flavour is king and afro-jazz is the beat, Johnnie Walker Black Label turned on the style having positioned the unique event as a formidable force on the music scene. Guests turned out in their droves as the gentlemen and ladies alike looked stunning in showstopper all-black outfits.

Johnnie Walker Black Label is the world’s most awarded deluxe whisky setting the benchmark for over 100 years and this event was all about showcasing its status as the ‘Everest of Whiskies’. Guests were treated to a wide variety of exotic cocktails carefully crafted by a team of expert mixologists led by champion bartender, Kelvin Oduntan, who also offered some whisky education to the whisky enthusiasts.

As guests ‘nosed’ Johnnie Walker Black Label to discern its flavour notes, curated spoken word performances echoed followed by a soulful musical performance by Temmie Ovwasa. With an effortless blend of poetry and panache, her rendition prompted rapturous cheers of excitement from an eager audience.

Adekunle Gold’s band, 79th Element, had been serenading the audience with afro-jazz covers of popular hits but nothing could have prepared the guests for what was to come. Adekunle Gold performed nonstop with the mastery that only comes with years of skill and preparation. By the end of his performance, the ‘Ire’ crooner was in the midst of an adulating crowd who had become one with their entertainer.
