Grammy Award winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, is one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024.
Legendary Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo wrote Ogulu’s tribute on Time’s website. This is even ad she admitted that Mr Ogulu played a pivotal role in the global acceptance of African music.
In her words: “Burna Boy has made that vision [acceptance of African music] a global reality. His music draws from the rich well of Nigerian folk traditions, and he carries the torch lit by Fela Kuti. He is history in the making.”
The Time Magazine uses its ‘100 Most Influential People’ platform to recognise and honours individuals who have made a significant impact on the world through their art, activism, and cultural influence.
