My Duty

Greetings People,

Thank you for buying my new CD Our Music.

Burning Spear say sometimes as an artist it is good if you can share some things with the people especially the fans so they can get some understanding about the things you been through coming up in the business. I man been in this business since 1969 and I man did have to deal with various booking agent, record company and promoters and it was in the 90’s when I man start earn something from what I been doing since 1969. I man rise up with my self confidence and my capabilities and I man just keep on moving forward for I man is moving in the right direction and the people knows that.

Sometimes I ask His Majesty when am I going to be discharged from this duty? Maybe I was wrong to ask His Majesty such question. I see myself as Mr. Music, JAH Music, Our Music, World Music, the Peoples Music. What so ever JAH has given to I man, I man earn it the hardest way.

So Keep the Spear Burning
One Love
Peace
Burning Spear

Unity Is Strength

First I would like to say greeting to all the people of the world. Big Up to the fans of Connecticut they have make Our Music the best sound Scans for Burning Spear music. Plenty respect for all the radio DJ in that area, they and the fans have proven that Our Music can become Everyone Music.

Unity is strength.

I would like to say Our Music is not a song against record company. I man have nothing against any record company. This was just I way of speaking out against the things that happen in this business. You have pirate companies like Clocktower that put out this CD call Traveling. I man have never given them any rights. I don’t even know them. I man call them modern day Music Slave Traders. Also the name Harry you are not selling comes from this producer that would call I man Jackson. And now claim I sold rights to them for $40.00 Jamaican Dollars in 1975.

A lot of people say they made Burning Spear. I say to them Jah made Burning Spear, I am a messenger of Jah, so Jah send all these people to support my live concerts. So while they are sleeping I am working on Our Music. A lot of my peer in this music business would go on I man website and see all these tour dates. They would say “how spear have so much tour dates?, where the people them come from to support him? Burning spear don’t even have a hit record.” I am a messenger of His Majesty so I don’t need a hit record to spread his Majesty message.

Plenty respect to Bill Bass/Larry Gold and the House Of Blues crew for all the tour support. Respect to all Burning Spear disciples…

Our Music touch I man so much based on what was going on in my life at the time this record was being made I have to speak about it. I have never put so much of myself in a CD since the 1970’s. I don’t sing to gain riches and buy fancy cars. I was chosen by the creator for this job. I am O’ Rastaman. You see I man over the past years so don’t bother I man with your disturbances. Marcus Garvey/Elijah Mohammed/Martin Luther King and Mr. Malcolm X they leave the instructions for I to follow through. So don’t mess with the O’ Rastaman.

Mistake carry no face. I man can see my exit I am more stronger than before. I man His little Garvey, And so his every brother or sisteren that will fight for there rights. So hold Them Little Garvey show Them that we can get tough. Who are them? Them are your friends or neighbor or enemies. I thought you were my neighbor, or friend but not my enemy. How may time we all think this about our friend.

Yes fans a support for Our Music is a support for Burning Spear, O Rastaman. Let the lyric of Our Music chain I and I together. Marcus Garvey say – self reliance. So lets do the Burning Spear walk right to the record store for a Copy Of Our Music.

Peace,
Burning Spear
