Burning Spear — Reggae Roots Rotterdam, 2026

A live concert filmed at the Reggae Roots Rotterdam festival, in Rotterdam’s Zuiderpark, the Netherlands, where Jamaican legend Burning Spear was among the headliners. Born Winston Rodney, Burning Spear has been one of the great voices of roots reggae since the 1970s, a bearer of the Rastafari message and a constant tribute to Marcus Garvey. On stage with his band, he unfolds more than an hour and twenty minutes of deep, hypnotic reggae, in which horns, percussion and bass lines draw a militant, spiritual trance. This live recording captures the stage presence of a rare artist who now performs only a handful of chosen concerts. For fans of roots reggae and Jamaican music, this filmed live performance documents a precious moment: a fervent European crowd meeting a living monument of the genre. A live performance to savour in full, far from the studio recordings. A full live performance that captures the depth and dignity of roots reggae before a devoted European festival crowd.
