Spring in Lagos: Why the Acoustic Music Scene Here Is the Real Hidden Gem

Spring in Lagos — April through early June — is when the acoustic music scene is most accessible. The summer crowds have not arrived. Barry Mulligan, Jonathan Pugh, Albin Marklund, Franco Pischedda, Michel de Vries each bring something distinct to the city's live venues. The Tuesday open mic at Ollie's Bar in Praia da Luz, hosted by Nesha, is worth the fifteen-minute drive. Check Gil Lagos for current listings.
