Burna Boy has returned to Jamaica for what appears to be a birthday holiday. This comes after his first trip to Jamaica in December last year when his “Love Damini World Tour” stopped at Kingston’s National Stadium. The African Giant pledged to return for a holiday the following year, which he has now done.
In this article, we look at 5 unforgettable moments from Burna Boy’s Jamaican vacation.
1. Rousing Welcome
The African Giant, who turned 32 on July 2, was greeted with a huge ‘welcome’ ceremony at his resort stay. When the “Last Last” singer arrived, he was greeted and adorned with beaded jewelry. The Silver Birds band filled the air with steel drum music as a celebratory gesture.
Talk about starting a vacation with style! Burna Boy definitely knows how to make an entrance!
2. Visit to Bob Marley’s “Tuff Gong” Studio
During his vacation, Burna Boy was seen with rappers Santan Dave and Maxo Kream at the late Bob Marley‘s famed Tuff Gong studio in Jamaica. He was introduced to Mr. Chow, the studio’s longest-serving audio engineer. Mr. Chow is Malaysian and first met Bob Marley in London in 1975, where he was invited to help build Bob Marley’s “Tuff Gong” studio. He has never left Jamaica since.
