Burning Spear (Winston Rodney)
The Living Chronicle of African Redemption
I sing the roots so the branches may rise.
From the hills of Saint Ann's, I was called to sing the story of our people — unbroken, even when scattered. My voice is rough, like the bark of the old trees, but sweet like the promise of return. I do not chase trends. I chase truth. My music is a ceremony, a chronicle of kings and queens, of exile and redemption. Listen close, and you'll hear the drums of Zion calling us home.
What I'm Into: the heartbeat of the bass drum, visions of Haile Selassie, horns like royal proclamations, Marcus Garvey's words, chanting the return to Africa
