Nov. 18, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- While preparing for Burna Boy's Tiny Desk appearance, it was evident early on that his performance would be strictly business. After exchanging pleasantries on the phone with his mother and manager, Bose Ogulu, she made it clear there wouldn't be time for much of anything else. "Burna has been working really hard so please bear with us," she told me. "The band will arrive well before him. Let me know the latest time at which he can arrive."
The Nigerian singer and songwriter is one of the biggest African artists in the world. He's also a pioneer of Afro-fusion which incorporates sonics and influences from a myriad of genres, laid on an Afrobeat foundation. The sound has been inescapable this year. The man born Damini Ogulu has been touring the world for the majority of 2019 and has at least 10 songs in the current nightclub rotation. Beyoncé took notice and offered him a place on The Lion King soundtrack, The Lion King: The Gift.
Sandwiched between two sold-out concerts in Washington D.C., his Tiny Desk performance offers something relatively different from what we're used to seeing at his rowdy stage shows. He's more reflective here and restrained, allowing his songwriting to shine. In the spirit of one of his heroes, Fela Kuti, he weaves through highlights from his breakout album, African Giant, that are liable to move your body as much as your social consciousness.

How on earth can someone's voice be exact the same with his song %100.. Is it lyrics? Vocals? punchlines? rap? sing? stage performance? Song writing? What do you need from this man? He's actually prove it that he's genuine, no auto tune or much editing of vocals. Do you want highlife? Hiphop? Afrobeat? Rap? Name it please. Man is too good and not even suppose to be compared to any African musician.

Just Finger Nobody is comparing. And even if we compare, why can’t we?, our music genre is about to break new grounds in the international scene, we need someone who can be a face of it. So, sending a message to “contenders” that you have to come with a message in your music, the type that puts you in a Grammy nomination is not a bad thing. Moreover, this new version of Afrobeats is still at its fledgling state, so we can shape it early. No bad energy, my comment was made out of love for Afrobeats. I’m a fan first.
The fact that he’s been traveling the world and he looks kind of tired. He still graced Tiny Desk with his presence and KILLED IT! 💪🏿🏆 🔥

I see your point but I interpreted it differently - humility! He didn't want to stand out coz he's part of a whole.. I was totally impressed with the instrumentalists as well as the BGV... Burna wanted that to come out - there's no him without them!

He’s consistent: Consistently putting on a good show... consistently feels his music... consistently putting out good music. I’m with it. Shouts to whoever they hired that made tiny desk concerts reflective of the music of the world. ...I’m with that too.

When piano and guitar get through a complex passage and then they nod and smile at each other , they are affirming , "Yeah , that works also." They are jazz musicians , having created a genre unique unto themselves , seeking discovery , bravo.

BURNA BOYYYYY!! 🙌🏾🔥 I saw him live in the rain at Afropunk Brooklyn 2022 and his performance was The Highlight of the event for me. I danced so hard in the rain. 💚
Burna Boy is my HUSBAND! I fell in LOVE with Ye after a traumatic time in my life and it awakened ALL 3 parts of my Native American Ancestry and African Ancestry. I awakened at that time. Now, everything this man makes is gold!
"[Only when the lions have their own historians, will the history of the hunt no longer glorify the hunter]" - Chinua Achebe. Your excellence, Burna, has created, a whole new table for Africans in the world of music. Thank you for your drive, consistency and vision.
