At the Afro Nation Portugal 2023, Burna Boy will perform as the headlining act alongside 50 Cent and Booba.

The world’s largest Afrobeats music festival will take place in Praia Da Rocha Beach, Portimão, the Algarve from June 28 to 30 celebrating the best in Afrobeats, reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, amapiano, soca, and other Black-led musical genres.

Praia Da Rocha is one of the most popular beaches in the Algarve, about an hour’s drive away from Faro airport.

Having made a name for hosting all the hottest acts and future stars, whilst representing sounds from every corner of the African continent, the festival changes the game again with global stars joining the movement from all around the globe.

Uniting Africa with Europe, the US, Latin America and the Caribbean, it’s a coming together of cultures for the celebration of music, dancing and more – in one truly unmissable party.

In an interview with Grammys, Davido revealed that he named his Sophmore album, “A Good Time” because he and the production squad had a good time making the album.

According to him, unlike his first album which he was given a deadline to make, he had more time and creative space to do it.

When asked about why he chose Afrobeat despite his bi-cultural background, he said

“I actually started out rapping. I actually started rapping first. I used to live in Atlanta and I used to just rap, make beats.

Then I went to Nigeria for Christmas one time and I just fell in love with African music. I was like, “Yo, I think I want to do African music.” And it worked out. If I would have rapped, I’d probably still be at home.”

He also revealed that he entered college at the age of 15 but dropped out to pursue music. He later attended Babcock University where he graduated with a degree in Music.

Davido named American rapper, 50Cent, and his G-Unit crew as the influences that shaped his music.

When asked about performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he said

“Man, it’s crazy. I’ve been watching late-night shows—I remember being a kid, and you’re not meant to be up late, [and] I used to sneak to the living room and I used to watch back-to-back tonight shows.

I’ve seen all the greats perform there. 50 Cent. The list is long. I remember when it aired all my family, my brothers, people I went to school with back in the days, hit me up like, “Yo, that’s crazy.” They knew how everything started.

Two years ago, I’d had never imagined I’d be on “Jimmy Fallon.” For it to just happen and everybody just be happy about it just is amazing to see.”
