Watch Burna Boy’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert

Nigerian Afro-fusion artist Burna Boy took his unique sound to a new level on his latest album, the acclaimed African Giant, and got a whole bunch of attention as a result. 2019 has also included an appearance on The Lion King soundtrack, a successful world tour, and now a performance NPR's long-running Tiny Desk Concert series. Burna performed songs from African Giant as well as 2018's Outside, running through "Gbona," "Wetin Man Go Do," "Dangote," and "Ye." It's a remarkably smooth performance, small enough to match the setting but with music too vibrant to be easily confined to one genre or expression of energy.
