Performer: Burning Spear
Producer: Aston; Winston Rodney; Burning Spear Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Notes: THE BEST OF BURNING SPEAR brings together 12 of the best-loved classics from legendary roots reggae singer Winston Rodney, aka Burning Spear. This collection features such essential hits as "African Teacher," "Bad to Worst," "The Fittest of the Fittest," and "Repatriation."
Burning Spear (born Winston Rodney) was originally a protege of his neighbor Bob Marley, but even his earliest music exhibited his characteristically unique and intense style. His lyrical concerns--black culture and history, a hybrid form of Pan-Africanism, Garveyism and Rasta tenets, and (especially) universal love--have been consistently and powerfully expressed throughout his lengthy recording career. Perhaps most memorable is his 1975 breakthrough masterpiece, MARCUS GARVEY, where he emerged as one of the most distinctive and original talents in the history of reggae.
