Africa & Emerging Markets Contributor
Daniel covers Africa and emerging markets for barsforKings from Lagos. He documents one of the most exciting and least-covered bar scenes anywhere, from the cocktail rooms of Lagos and Cape Town to the rooftops of Nairobi and the riad bars of Marrakech.
He writes for the reader who wants a real night out in a city the big guides skip. His standard is that a bar should be judged on its own terms, by what it does with what it has, not against a template borrowed from London or New York.
Daniel edits the African city desks and reviews the continent's cocktail-bar, rooftop, and live-music entries.
Lagos, Cape Town, Nairobi, Accra, and Marrakech, the cities Daniel covers.
