Roots Reggae Prophet Burning Spear at Fühlinger See | Summer Jam 2026

Born Winston Rodney in Saint Ann, Jamaica — the same parish as Bob Marley — Burning Spear rose to prominence in the 1970s as one of the most powerful voices in roots reggae. His music carried the fire of Rastafarian spirituality, African consciousness, and resistance against oppression. His breakthrough came with Marcus Garvey (1975), an album that became a cornerstone of reggae history. With tracks like “Marcus Garvey” and “Slavery Days,” Burning Spear established himself as a prophet of reggae, channeling history and struggle into timeless anthems.
