Working alongside acclaimed director Huse Monfaradi who has previously worked with Kiwanuka on the video for ‘Love & Hate’, ‘Live At The Mildmay Club’ features full band performance recordings of tracks from Kiwanuka’s recent, widely acclaimed third album, KIWANUKA. It was shot in Stoke Newington, London on week of album’s release. The session features ‘Hero’, ‘Piano Joint’, ‘Light’, and ‘You Ain’t The Problem.’ The much-acclaimed musician released KIWANUKA to critical acclaim on 1 November 2019 having already achieved much for his second record, Love & Hate.
