In a recent interview posted by Bundesliga on social media, Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies shared his top 5 favorite songs, with Nigerian singers Burna Boy and Rema making the cut. Davies listed Burna Boy’s “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” as his number one favorite, followed by Rema’s “Ozeba” in second place.
The Canada captain’s love for Afrobeats is no surprise, as he has previously mentioned Davido’s “Legend Can Never Die” and “No Competition” as part of his pre-game playlist. Davies’ appreciation for Nigerian music highlights the global reach and influence of Afrobeats, with artists like Burna Boy and Rema gaining international recognition.
Davies’ top 5 list also includes “Champions League” by MHD, “Luciano” by Fendi Drip, and “Now You’re Gone” by Basshunter. His music preferences showcase his diverse taste and appreciation for different genres.
As a prominent figure in the sports world, Davies’ endorsement of Afrobeats and Nigerian artists may introduce their music to a new audience and further cement their global appeal.
