<div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" width="500" height="281" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/W9DwL_bRGSM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> <p>The biggest and brightest of the African music world got together&mdash;while staying apart&mdash;on Saturday, and naturally, the African Giant was there. Taking his rightful place alongside the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, and Lizzo, Burna Boy performed “African Giant” and “Hallelujah” for the <em>One World: Together at Home</em> concert Saturday from a comfortable looking chair in Lagos, Nigeria. Down in South Africa, Black Coffee remotely performed “Drive” with the British singer Delilah Montagu. </p> <p>Burna Boy is embedded above and here's Black Coffee: </p> <div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" width="500" height="281" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VHcWhT34ufA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> <p>In an eight-hour stream on the internet and a two-hour televised event in America, the <em>One World: Together at Home</em> concert brought together a bunch of people who didn't have anything better to do, and raised $127 million to battle coronavirus. Kicked off and curated by Lady Gaga singing the old standard “Smile,” the show was an opportunity to look into these people's houses&mdash;or onto Elton John's basketball court&mdash;hear an older Taylor Swift song gain new resonance, and, thankfully, hear Beyonce take all the air out of the idea that coronavirus is a great leveler. </p> <p>“Black Americans disproportionately belong to these essential parts of the workforce that do not have the luxury of working from home," Beyonce said. "African-American communities at large have been severely affected in this crisis. Those with pre-existing conditions are at an even higher risk. This virus is killing black people at an alarmingly high rate here in America." </p> <p>The concert has been released as <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9361591/one-world-together-at-home-album-stream" target="_blank">a monstrous four-hour album, available to stream</a>, with proceeds supporting the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization.</p>
