Nyashinski gave his all, but the night belonged to Jidenna – PHOTOS


Musician Nyashinski on Saturday night gave a poignant reminder to other Kenyan musicians why he remains the top dog in the local music scene.

The singer gave his all at Carnovore and the crowd reciprocated as he curtain-raised for American-Nigerian musician Jidenna Theodore Mobisson.

Better known as Jidenna, the singer gave fans at the third edition of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) Party a reason to party the night despite only having a few songs which Kenyans associate with.

The American singer is popular for his hit single Classic Man.

Nyashinski was a darling to the revelers as he got the crowd jamming to some of his oldies like Tuendelee, Swing Swing and some of his latest hits Mungu Pekee, Now you Know and the crowd favorite Malaika.

Jidenna’s interaction with his fans was breathtaking.  His Swahili was lacking and his Nigerian was not he represented it to the fullest.
