Though Burna was already an international Rockstar, his performance during the sold-out Madison Square Garden concert elevated him to music immortality, as the name of King Kong can now be spoken in the same breath as all the great performers before him.

Just six days after it was held at the Legendary Madison Square Garden, New York, Burna Boy’s “One Night in Space” concert hit a million viewers on YouTube .is the real King Kong of afro-fusion , that record-making feat was more than enough to thaw their indecisiveness.

For the African Giant, as he christened himself via the title of his fourth studio album, to “stand twice as tall” as his contemporaries, he stood upon the shoulders of giants before him, and “One Night in Space” was a testament of how they helped mould his craft into the jewel on this play on the night.

The Senegalese griot put up an exhilarating rendition of his album-topping collaboration with Burna Boy, “Level up”. The iconic voice held the mostly young audience at the arena and millions of others streaming the show at home spellbound.Music aficionados have often come hard on the live performances of Nigerian popular singers, which they often describe as tawdry and poorly put-together.

The prominence of the saxophone in Burna’s live performances holds a deeper meaning to his music than just something to complement other instruments. The horn is at the core of his music. Of course, Burna’s music and stage performances copy copiously from the legendary Fela, the creator of Afrobeat . The sax was the eminent instrument in Fela’s Afrobeat.

That mingling with the audience was not without its gains. By the time Burna Boy started singing “Rock Your Body”, his sensual joints off the Outside album, and “Onyeka ” off the Twice as Tall album, ladies in the audience were already taking off their bras and throwing them on stage. Burna, the lady’s man, picked up a few of those bras and held them for some time during the concert.
