The
star-studded 2023 NBA All-Star Game was in the news again this year for its
halftime performances, announcing Nigerian Stars, Burna Boy, Rema and Tems to
grace the occasion.
As
yet another highlight of the boundaries Nigerian and African music continue to
push, the three put on dazzling performances in their own right.
Opening
the show with his hits, "Anybody" and "It's Plenty", Burna
Boy put on a performance that is sure to get the trends buzzing again followed
by a much-expected display of exuberance by fellow Nigerian star Rema who got
the crowd ecstatic with energetic renditions of his songs "Calm Down"
and "Holiday".
To
put the icing on the cake, the ever-beautiful songstress Tems came out to a
performance of her songs "Crazy Tings", and "Free Mind" parts
of her verse from Wizkid's Essence and Future's "Wait For You".
Accompanied
by brilliant visual effects, the performances were a true display of beautiful
traditional and modern African dance routines and an ever-lively band that kept
the vibe alive.
It
seemed like all was said and done until Burna Boy was brought out for the last
time to perform his grammy-nominated global hit song, "Last Last"
which sent the crowd into a state of elation.
Surely,
this adds to the giant strides being taken by the African music scene towards
world domination, strides which are definitely in the right direction!
Kudos
to the three Artists for bearing the African Torch.
