While Cuco was technically the headliner on this night, Helado Negro was really the stand out performer - by far. You could really tell he’s the seasoned performer of the artists there that night, both in song and in production. The lighting was a delight, as are his ever-present tinsel mammals. I’m flabbergasted that I haven’t been able to see him in a headlining slot yet. Check out the video below.
Opening the night was Polaris-prize winning Lido Pimienta. While I’m able to really appreciate her music, her on stage personality was rather off-putting. It wasn’t any one particular thing she said, I don’t want to dissect it, but it really kind of eclipsed the music for me.
Cuco was the headliner, but we had somewhere to be after this show so we didn’t stay long. I’ll admit that the more I listened to his music, the more I liked it. Both seeing him talking to fans in person, and seeing him on stage - he has more of the at carless, slacker vibe going. Not my jam, but as long as keeps putting out some good music.
