Full performance by Burning Spear, a cornerstone of Jamaican roots reggae, captured on 30 July 2024 at OLT Rivierenhof, the open-air amphitheatre in Deurne, Antwerp. Born Winston Rodney, the singer has carried a militant, spiritual reggae since the 1970s, shaped by the legacy of Marcus Garvey and by foundational albums such as Marcus Garvey and Man in the Hills. This live session, filmed outdoors, draws on more than fifty years of catalogue, built on his unmistakable chanting delivery and hypnotic nyabinghi grooves. The full show format preserves the entire set uncut, driven by a dense rhythm section and horns. This 2024 live document shows an octogenarian artist still touring Europe, faithful to his Rastafarian message and to a living reggae scene. Ideal for followers of roots reggae, live concert footage and complete captures, it highlights Burning Spear’s enduring stage presence and the summer atmosphere of an open-air show. A strong reference for any catalogue of filmed live concerts, and a genuine live testament to reggae’s long history and its continuing vitality on European stages.
