Name: Burning Spear - Jah Is Real Genre: Roots Reggae Release Date: 2008 Format: mp3 Quality: MPEG, 160 Kbps Size: 70,6 Mb Duration: 01:04:05 Description: Winston Rodney (also known as Burning Spear) was born in Saint Ann's Bay, Saint Ann, Jamaica, as were Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey; who both had a great influence on Rodney's life: Garvey in his philosophy, which Burning Spear greatly took to, and Marley in directly helping Burning Spear get started in the music industry by introducing him to Clement Dodd. Burning Spear was originally Rodney's group, named after Jomo Kenyatta, the first Prime Minister and President of an independent Kenya, and initially including bass singer Rupert Willington, later expanding to include tenor Delroy Hinds. As fame took hold the name of the group gradually became synonymous with Rodney. Burning Spear is one of the strongest proponents of Marcus Garvey's philosophy of self-determination and self-reliance for all African descendants, thus leading to several album releases in commemoration of the Jamaican activist. Burning Spear has won two Grammy Awards for Best Reggae Album; one at the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000 for Calling Rastafari, and one for 2009's Jah Is Real. He has been nominated for a total of 12 Grammy Awards.
