Tampa Bay's Afrobeat scene grows

Flashback: Burna Boy became the first African artist to sell out TD Garden Arena when he performed in Boston earlier this month.

• His Tampa show was reportedly also sold out, filling the 21,500-seat stadium last Monday.

What they're saying: "It's truly humbling to see the city of Tampa embrace Afrobeats with such enthusiasm and support; it's a testament to the diversity and inclusivity of our city," Afro Elite Entertainment's Melvin Nnabuife told Axios.

What's ahead: Fans want to see artists like Rema, Wizkid, Tems and Omaha Lay come to town next. But for now:

• 🎤 Davido, an Afrobeats artist from Nigeria, is coming to Orlando on April 24.
• 🖤 AfroCAN Festival Weekend at Perry Harvey Park is June 14-16 and will feature Afrobeats DJs.
• 🇳🇬 Enjoy amapiano, Afrobeats, soca and kompa music 10pm-2am every Thursday at "Lagos Thursdays" at 7th & Grove.
