Burning Spear’s third album, released in 1975, is a seminal work in the reggae genre. Named after the Jamaican National Hero and Rastafari movement prophet Marcus Garvey, the album is a powerful statement of roots reggae, with a strong emphasis on social commentary and Rastafarian philosophy. Marcus Garvey is widely regarded as one of the greatest reggae albums of all time, and its influence can be heard in many subsequent reggae and dub albums.
