BURNIN’, the emblematic album by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, turns 40!

This October 19th, the album BURNIN’ completes 40 years since its release (1973), being one of the most important and emblematic albums in the history of global roots reggae. This is the fourth album by Wailers, which was also notable for being the last before Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer continued their solo careers, making the band renamed Bob Marley & The Wailers. Despite the naturally militant roots of Wailers, BURNIN’ goes much further in political issues and incisive messages, as in the classic "Get Up, Stand Up", an anthem of confrontation with the system, social equality and the rights of the people. The success was resounding, and drew even more attention from the mainstream media, especially after the acclaimed British singer and guitarist, Eric Clapton, re-recorded "I Shot the Sheriff". Shortly afterwards - and to this day - the re-recording became one of Clapton's best-known songs. In 2003, the famous magazine Rolling Stones listed the 500 greatest albums in history, with BURNIN’ reaching 319th place. In 2007, the album was added to the Biblioteca do Congresso dos Estados Unidos National Recording Registry, due to its cultural and historical importance.
