I don’t really know what the story is with the empty room they’re performing in, but the point is, it’s a pair of Afrobeats stars performing across America’s living rooms (and/or wherever people watch YouTube videos). We're a world and half-a-century-and-a-decade away from the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, but whatever's left of "mainstream culture" is hip to Naija pop.</p>
