'Burna Boy Didn't Create Nor Popularized Afrofusion' - Motolani Alake by Rapmoney(m): 8:38pm On Jun 01 |
A Nigerian music executive, Motolani Alake, has clarified that contrary to popular belief, Burna Boy did not create the sound known as Afro fusion. Alake pointed out that veterans like Lagbaja and Black Magic were already using the term Afro-fusion to describe their music long before Burna Boy entered the scene. Burna Boy, known for hits like “Last Last,” has frequently stated that his music style is called Afro-fusion, in a bid to distinguish it from Afrobeats. In an interview on the Million Dollar Worth of Game podcast, aired on Sunday, Burna Boy emphasised that African music genres should not all be labelled as Afrobeats, pointing out the diverse sounds across the continent. He argued that such generalisation is unfair to African artists. However, Alake’s intervention on the matter has now stirred discussions in the music community. He stated, “Burna Boy didn’t create Afro fusion and I don’t think he popularised the word. Lagbaja in the late 90s & Black Magic called their sound Afro Fusion before Burna Boy.” Watch him speak below: “Burna Boy didn’t create Afro fusion & I don’t think he popularized the word.
