BURNA BOY – EXCLUSIVE AFRICAN GIANT YOUTUBE MUSIC NIGHT PERFORMANCE

GRAMMY Award-winning artist Burna Boy celebrated the 5th anniversary of his seminal album, African Giant, with a YouTube Music Nights exclusive performance at London’s KOKO.

The intimate show was a part of a YouTube series that brings global superstar artists closer to their fans. Burna’s performance followed his roadblock Glastonbury Pyramid stage performance and his sell-out Wembley Stadium show. Seeing an arena-sized act like him in a small venue created a very special kind of magic. A Burna show is never one to miss and this one in particular encapsulated the distinct essence of his art, as existing and new fans fell in love with his captivating presence.

Described as ‘a new benchmark of Afro-fusion music’ by Pitchfork, African Giant received both critical and commercial acclaim, cementing Burna Boy’s position as one of Nigeria’s most feted artists.

To mark his 5th anniversary, Burna Boy said:

“Celebrating the 5-year anniversary of ‘African Giant’ with a special performance in London, sponsored by YouTube Music, has been an incredible experience. This album holds a special place in my heart as it represents a pivotal moment in my career and a powerful statement of African pride. Performing these songs for my fans, who have supported me every step of the way, is a reminder of the journey we’ve shared and the cultural impact we’ve made together. I’m grateful to YouTube Music for helping us create this memorable event and to all my fans for their unwavering support. Here’s to many more years of making music that resonates and inspires.”
