Recorded at Tuff Gong Studios, Kingston, Jamaica.
By 1990, Burning Spear (a.k.a. Winston Rodney) had established himself as one of the foremost individual performers in the post-Marley, post-Tosh reggae world, a musical innovator and an eloquent voice for the oppressed in his native land. On his previous release, Spear had sought a change in musical direction, and enlisted rock musicians, but on MEK WE DWEET, he returned to a more traditional approach. Unsurprisingly, the resulting record represented a return to fine form.
Despite the popularity of the dancehall style, Spear eschewed its party-time vibe and synthesized percussion. MEK WE DWEET is something of a modern take on roots reggae. Despite such embellishments as a big horn section, synthesizers, and effects-laden electric guitar, Spear's heartfelt singing and the accomplished playing of the backing musicians ensure that the record never comes off as slick. On lean, simmering tracks like "My Roots," "Take a Look," and "Great Men," Spear sings with the calm authority of a true master. Songs like "Garvey," and "One People" find him mining traditional themes of faith, unity, and freedom, while "African Woman" is a relative rarity in reggae: a show of support directed at women.
