  • Summary

  • "Marcus Garvey" by Burning Spear, released in 1975, is a seminal reggae album that pays homage to the legendary Jamaican political leader and Pan-African activist Marcus Garvey. The album, produced by Lawrence Lindo (Jack Ruby), features the deep, soulful voice of Winston Rodney (Burning Spear) and is characterized by its powerful lyrics that speak to the struggles and aspirations of the African diaspora. Backed by the Black Disciples band, the music combines roots reggae rhythms with a sense of spiritual and political urgency, making it a cornerstone in the genre's history and a critical reflection on colonialism, resistance, and black pride.
