Proclaimed ‘African Giant’ Burna Boy is set to return to South Africa, as announced by ticketing provider Ticketpro. Burna Boy will kick off his ‘Burna Boy After Tour’ in Johannesburg on 23rd September at the FNB stadium. Expectations of selling out the 90,000 seater venue are high – considering he was presented with a plaque as the first African artist to sell-out at West Ham’s London Stadium in June.
Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer who has risen to global prominence with his genre-blending music, putting Africa on the map on a level of super stardom previously unknown. His music is a fusion of Afrobeat, dancehall, reggae, and R&B. As a true advocate for Africa and its cultural heritage, Burna Boy’s impact on the music industry has been transformative, showcasing an ability to bring Yoruba, Igbo and pidgin English into his songwriting – opening doors for African artists on the global stage without compromise on culture or language. In 2021, he won a Grammy for his album ‘Twice as Tall’ in the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category.
