Afrobeat singer Burna Boy remains a source of hope for Nigerian Grammys break as he has grabbed his second nomination of the global competition.
He is nominated in the Best Global Music Album category at Sunday’s awards for his 2020 album “Twice as Tall”.
This time, he is in the ring with Malian band Tinariwen and US band Antibalas, alongside two others.
He clinched his first nomination in 2019 in the same category, for his “African Giant” album, and while he did not win last year, music critics predict he may have a better chance now.
Interestingly, it is afrobeat, more than any other genre, that has been moving the Nigerian music industry closer to the award in recent years.
While Femi and Seun Kuti have been on the lane, juju had also given King Sunny Ade the push.
