Burna Boy
The African Giant returns to OVO Arena Wembley UK to start the UK leg of his African Giant Tour 2019 after selling Arenas in the US this year and the Brixton last year in grand style. The Nigerian Afro-fusion singer and songwriter – whose just-wrapped “African Giant Tour in the US ” saw him light up Coachella with a fiery big band live set – will be among the headline acts performing at the upcoming Interswitch One Africa Music Fest, set for August 10th at Brooklyn, NY’s Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk.
Burna Boy released his new single 'Anybody' Friday, June 14th. In this song, we see his trademark display of star energy, literally and figuratively. In what may be the most personal song we have heard from the afrofusion artist in recent months, ‘Anybody’ addresses respect, growth, reputation, and, more importantly, recognizing who you are and taking charge. The music comes from a place deep within the artiste, chronicling his journey to where he is today, while addressing paying his dues and rightly so.
A 2019 BET Award nominee for “Best International Act,” Burna Boy is among contemporary African music’s brightest stars and creator of an enigmatic new genre he simply dubs “Afrofusion.” Born Damini Ogulu in Port Harcourt City, Nigeria, the gifted singer-songwriter has released a long series of EPs, singles, mixtapes, and albums including 2018’s extraordinary OUTSIDE. The award-winning collection proved Burna Boy’s U.S. breakthrough, debuting at #3 on Billboard’s “Reggae Albums” chart, fueled in part by the blockbuster single/video, “Ye,”.
