The city of Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States, has officially proclaimed March 2nd as “Burna Boy’s Day” in recognition of the acclaimed Nigerian singer.
This declaration was formalized through a document from the Boston City Council, signed by Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune.
The document highlights Burna Boy’s commendable contributions, both through his musical performances and his advocacy efforts.
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.”
Burna Boy has held so many soldout shows in Boston since breaking into the international scene in 2018.
