March 2nd has officially been proclaimed as “Burna Boy’s Day” in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, United States, as a tribute to the Nigerian singer.
The declaration is documented in an official communication from the Boston City Council, signed by Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune. The recognition is attributed to Burna Boy’s outstanding performances and his commendable 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 sold-out shows in Boston since breaking into the international scene in 2018.
