Burning Spear's impact on reggae music is profound. A true legend, Spear's legacy through
his music is one of self-reliance and self-determination for the African diaspora. With a
career spanning over six decades, his message remains on point and his vocal delivery is as
powerful as it is identifiable.
Winston Rodney began his music career in the late 1960s, attributing his start to a fateful
encounter with Bob Marley. Both were living in the St. Ann's parish of Jamaica. As Spear
recalls, »Bob was going to his farm. The man was moving with a donkey and some buckets
and a fork, and cutlass and plants. We just reason man-to-man and I-man say wherein I
would like to get involved in the music business. And Bob say, 'All right, just check Studio
One.'« It was there that Spear recorded his first two classic albums, »Burning Spear« and
»Rocking Time.«
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Burning Spear rocked the reggae world, releasing
acclaimed albums such as »Social Living,« »Hail H.I.M.« and »Resistance.« His music evolved
to incorporate elements of jazz, funk, and rock, while maintaining its solid roots reggae
foundation.
Burning Spear has won two Grammy Awards for Best Reggae Album; one at the 42nd
Grammy Awards in 2000 for »Calling Rastafari,« and one for 2009's »Jah Is Real.« He has
been nominated for a total of 12 GrammyTM Awards. He was awarded the Jamaican
government's Order of Distinction for outstanding services to music in 2007.
Since establishing their own label Burning Music Records, Winston and Sonia Rodney have
released nearly forty singles, CDs, DVDs and vinyl albums on the Burning Music imprint.
In addition to his music career, Burning Spear is a dedicated anti-racism activist and
philanthropist. He has been involved in various social and political causes throughout his
career, including the fight against apartheid in South Africa, the struggle for independence in
Zimbabwe and his campaign to raise awareness of the teachings of Marcus Garvey.
Burning Spear's legacy as a reggae icon is everlasting, and his music continues to inspire
and uplift audiences around the world. His influence can be heard in the work of countless
artists who have followed in his footsteps, and his message of love and unity remain as
relevant today as ever. Quelle: Veranstalter
