Thanks for doing a video about Burning Spear, I remember the first time I heard the Marcus Garvey album it just blew me away, I've never heard a record since that manages to be as political, spiritual and emotional as that.

It's incredible. An album I play over and over whenever I'm on a road trip

The one thing that I have always appreciated about Burning Spear was the fact that he never watered down his message. He preached the gospel Garvyism with a passion that still burns in the hearts of all Pan-Africanists. Big up to Burning Spear!

He also promoted the vax which is totally anti Rasta and not Garvey.

If bob was the king, winston is the emperror. Bob made reggae popular, burning made it academic level music, made it uncompromised.

Finally a Video about Burning Spear! Thank you! I was around 7 years old when my Dad gave me a cassette of Spears 1988 Paris show. Telling me "I like his sound much more than Bob Marley's. He's very true to the original style!" I was shocked, but got hooked to Spears Sound for ever after. I saw him once in Switzerland, at a venue that did not do him justice... Would love to see Spear performing one more time.

@dp13579 oh yes! Years later I got it on CD. Still part of my collection 35 years later.

Often described as "One of the most Loved and Respected elder statesmen in the history of Reggae music" Burning Spear has lived up to his reputation leading many to believe if Bob hadn't been acknowledged as the King of Reggae, it would've been Spear. Run thru his albums' critical reception and you'll discover an astonishing consistency and no other artists beats him in this regard (Not even Tosh). Love his latest album No Destroyer released in 2023, I believe.

After Marley it’s Burning Spear for me. He has one of the deepest, most soulful voices in reggae and always experimented with his sound. I’d love to see him perform live even at this late stage. #womadelaide25

That wasn't the original album cover...it was silver grey ,..and was on pre release and cost over a half a day pay ,.( Seven Pound's ) ..back in 1974/5...it sold out as soon as it hit the records shop in BRIXTON MARKET LONDON UK...it has a dub instrumental also .. named ,.." GARVEYs ghost ":... in dub ... Both albums are literally national treasures... literally..

@solarscience5815 5 месяцев назад

I love Spears music but lost respect for him when he promoted the vax. That’s anti Rasta and contradicts everything he stood for as a Rasta.

@wethepplwhorblackerthanblu6442 5 месяцев назад

You have to think way BEYOND that man.. I remember back when a lot of Rastafarians for promoting Haile Selassie even Winston Rodney for a time was promoting him At that time I did not know who he was in the late seventies but by the time of early 80s me and a lot of other Rastafarians turned from that Haile Selassie garbage even though quite of a number of Rastafarians went over to Ethiopia to be close to the Empire BUT I truly believe that many them if not most of them that are over in Ethiopia they are more closely aligned to the Eastern Coptic religion The point is or the point being IS.. Rastafarian IS mainly a African Spiritual concept that mainly consists of a couple of treads of Deep African Roots Nyabinghi chanting spiritualism and quite a bit of and a mix of Christianity and Theoretical East Coptic Orthodox Religion as the Copic Orthodox religion had predated Christianity In short.. Rastafarianism is FAR Spiritual THAN any concept that any man can think of.. THIS is what Winston Rodney was raised up and inspired by.. That AND Marcus Garvey

@solarscience5815 5 месяцев назад

I disagree. I say Spear’s a sell out. Furthermore you cannot define Rasta. Some use aspects of Christianity and many reject Christianity. Rastafari was created by men so what you suggest makes no sense.

@wethepplwhorblackerthanblu6442 5 месяцев назад

@solarscience5815 Um hello.. I don't know about Winston Rodney I haven't listened to any of his music lately.. but if you actually read my comment quite correctly you would see I had actually defined what you had just said.. As a matter of fact I would go to say even further That in the early to mid to even the late sixties in the Caribbean islands there was a big spiritual upheaval with a lot of people who were generally poor and shunned by most of society So yeah they went and.. quote on quote.. " created their own religious spiritual culture and identity " that worked for them A lot of it was a lot of Nyabinghi and West African spiritualism and it also contains a lot of Christianity and Ethiopian culture because that place was not really touched by any yt people

@solarscience5815 5 месяцев назад

@@wethepplwhorblackerthanblu6442 I never said HIM is garbage. I never said Rasta is mixed with Christianity or Ethiopian orthodox. Rastafari was created by men. To be honest your English is not brilliant so I didn’t really overstand what you were saying. My point is Spear’s a sell out. I see nothing in your response saying that.

@randalloleary1080 15 дней назад

Dry and Heavy was my first Spear album, selected for me and lent to me by a Senegalese rasta DJ in my hometown. I've never been so instantly captivated and blown away by a single album in my life. It remains my #1 favorite reggae record to this day. Respect to the brilliant Burning Spear

Another time in Flagstaff Burning Spear show was sold out. Mr Winston Rodney personally walked in about ten close brethren thru the backstage. We offered to pay and Spear let us all in for free. Much to the chagrin of promoters and security. What you gonna do argue with The Burning Spear!
