This week's video is On The Low by Nigerian singer Burna Boy. His real name is Damini Ogulo and he is from Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He's also lived in England. His grandad is broadcaster and music critic Benson Idonije, on of the founders of Radio Nigeria.
Burna Boy started out in music in late 2010, but his real breakthrough single was Like To Party, released in summer 2012. His other singles include Tonight, Yawa Dey, Run My Race , Soke, Gbona and On The Low.
Burna Boy's type of music is known as Afrofusion, and to date he has released 2 mixtapes and 3 albums. His latest LP is OUTSIDE which came out last year. The title track features Swedish/British singer Mabel. In 2015 he founded his own record label OnASpaceship.
On The Low came out in November. I first saw the video on an Afrobeats TV progamme last month.
