In honour of the Nigerian musician, March 2nd has been designated as “Burna Boy’s Day” by the city of Boston in Massachusetts, USA.
This was stated in a Boston City Council paper that Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune signed.
The record states that Burna Boy received acclaim for his “advocacy works and performances.”
The document read inter alia: “Boston’s commitment to recognizing and celebrating culture and diversity is evident in the range of cultural events, festivals, and community initiatives that showcase the city’s multicultural landscape and:“Whereas, Burna Boy’s legacy serves as a reminder of possibility, reminding us to continue amplifying voices that have long been silenced or overlooked, now, therefore be it resolved: That March 2, 2024 is designated Burna Boy Day in the City of Boston.”
After making his breakthrough on the global scene in 2018, Burna Boy has performed at numerous sold-out gigs in Boston.
