About

Burning Spear

Burning Spear is an undisputed musical legend. Not a year goes by that he doesn't release a blockbuster album or complete a successful tour. His concerts are events, and each subsequent record that he releases is greeted with eager anticipation by reggae fans everywhere. A visionary musical prophet, Burning Spear's music has always had a profound cultural and spiritual focus. In fact, his name comes from the African freedom fighter and Kenya's first head of state, Jomo Kenyatta, who was referred to as Burning Spear. He is especially dedicated to preserving and exposing the teachings of Marcus Garvey, who preached self-determination and self-reliance for all African descendants. Among reggae artists, none sing the Garvey gospel as profoundly or as often as Spear.
