AG Baby and Naira Marley will perform at NPR’s Black Music Month concert as Nigerian musicians continue to take Afrobeats around the world.

Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans in the United States, will be commemorated by the concert, which will run from June 1-30.

Tiny Desk Series Producer said  “We will publish eleven performances representing the past, present, and future of Black music. This is the first time each of the eleven acts will play the Tiny Desk”.
