Show Notes

 Most people know Burning Spear as a reggae legend—but they haven’t heard the full story behind his sacred mission. How did Winston Rodney turn Marcus Garvey’s Pan‑African vision into militant anthems of spiritual resistance? Why did his album Marcus Garvey shake the world’s understanding of reggae? And what drove him to start his own label, reject industry pressure, and still tour into his late 70s? This isn’t a biography—it’s a journey into music as liberation, faith as protest, and culture as resistance. Would his message resonate with you? Could his words light a spark in our time?
