Burna Boy’s music comes with that perfect rhyme to enjoy the melodies of one of Nigeria’s best pop songwriters while enjoying the greatest artist to come out of Africa, Fela Kuti.
Everyone knows Burna Boy’s grandfather, the great music critic, Benson Idonije, once managed Fela, and Fela has been a great influence on his career — he got Fela’s image sitting pretty on his debut album cover, L.I.F.E., and Fela tatted upon his body.
Fela Kuti’s music has played a significant role in the development of Burna Boy’s sound. Burna’s grandfather being the late legend’s manager introduced him to Fela’s discography at a very young age.
