How ‘Burna Boy introduced live band into afrobeats’ – Ruger

Ruger, the renowned Nigerian singer, has asserted that his Grammy-winning colleague, Burna Boy, pioneered the use of live bands in afrobeats performances.

He mentioned that prior to Burna Boys adoption of live bands, most Afrobeats artists typically relied on DJ sets during their performances.

He argued that Burna Boy made live performance enjoyable.

Speaking in a recent chat with Billboard alongside BNXN, Ruger said: Before Burna Boy started this live band thing most Afrobeats Act would just go on stage with their DJs and bounce, Burna boy makes live performance enjoyable.

I dont care if they give Burna Boy his flowers or not, but we the youngins from Nigeria know what he has done.
