Burning Spear (Winston Rodney) was encouraged to take his music from the rural parish of St Ann's Bay where he grew up to Kingston by Bob Marley in 1969. He connected with Studio One's renowned producer Coxsone Dodd and made a debut album and many well-known tracks together. When they parted ways in the mid-70s, Burning Speak went on to make music for decades about oppression and social injustice. His live shows are epic - he will take a 3 minute song and turn it into a 12 minute jam. He has a very signature sound - no one sounds like Burning Spear!
