ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Once in a great while, an artist Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß emerges that has a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß profound effect on popular culture. ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Burning Spear is such an ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² artist. A certifiable musical legend, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Spears career has already ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² spanned over three decades and shows no ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß sign of slowing down. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ His concerts regularly last over two ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² hours, a live show that delivers ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý more energy and vibrancy than many rock Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß and roll bands that are ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß half his age. Its no surprise that Spear ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ was the only reggae artist ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² included in the 2002 music issue of ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Vanity Fair. But it is not just the ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² music that generates the excitement, it ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß is also the message. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ Carrying the torch for the gospel of ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² Marcus Garvey, Burning Spear ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý is one of the single greatest Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß proponents of self-determination and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß self-reliance for all African descendants; ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ but his message is not ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² exclusively based on the teachings of ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Garvey. Through his music, ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Burning Spear has consistently been ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß able to educate, inform, and uplift ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ people the world over with his positive ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² message based on honesty, peace, and ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý love. Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß Growing up in the parish of St Anns ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Jamaica, the same musical hotbed ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² that produced Bob Marley and the ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Wailers, Burning Spear made his ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² first recording of "Door Peep" in 1969 ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß for the esteemed Studio One ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ label. In fact, it was Bob Marley himself ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² that referred Spear to Studio ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý One. As Spear recalls: Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß "The way the whole thing came about is ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ that I found myself moving along ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² up in the hills of St. Anns and I ran ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ into Bob (Marley) at the same time. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² And ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Bob was going to his farm. The man was ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ moving with a donkey and some ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² buckets and a fork, and cutlass and ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý plants. We just reason man to man and Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß I-man say wherein I would like to get ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß involved in the music business. And ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ Bob say, All right, just check Studio ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² One." ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² While at Studio One, Burning Spear ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß

ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² (Marcus Garvey, Man in the Hills, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ and Garveys Ghost) that not only ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² reshaped the face of reggae music, ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß but also saw the emergence of Burning ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ Spear as an international artist ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² whose artistic vision began to permeate ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý popular culture around the world. Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
