Nigerian Afro-fusion artiste, Burna Boy has been enlisted among artistes to perform at the 63rd Grammy Awards scheduled for March 14.
The organizers of the epoch making event made this known on Tuesday in a blog post listing activities for this year’s edition of the awards.
The ‘Ye’ crooner will perform at the event alongside Lido Pimienta, a Colombian-Canadian musician; Poppy, an American singer; and Rufus Wainwright.
According to the Academy, “all of the premiere ceremony performers and the host are nominated this year, as are most of the presenters.”
It added that the event will be hosted by Jhené Aiko, a three-time Grammy nominee.
Burna Boy is up for the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category for ‘Twice As Tall’, his 2020 album, at the forthcoming edition of the awards.
This makes it the second Grammy nomination for the music star.
This year’s edition of the awards was earlier scheduled for January but was deferred amid concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
