Live bands were first introduced to Afrobeats by Burna Boy – Ruger

The Grammy-winning colleague of Nigerian singer Ruger, Ruger, has stated that Burna Boy brought the live band into Afrobeats performances.

Before Burna Boy began utilizing a live band, he claims that the majority of Afrobeats artists performed on stage with DJ sets.

Burna Boy, he claimed, made live performances “enjoyable.”

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

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