The Burning Spear Revival is to be a celebration of the original poetry, song, food and fellowship of The Burning Spear Cafe, once located at 205 Wall Street near Stoner and Marshall streets, says Artspace.
Hosted by Gordon Nurse and Alan Dyson, it will take place Sunday, July 17th, from 6-9 pm, at
Artspace, 710 Texas Street in downtown Shreveport.
Dyson notes, "The Spear became, for a time, a pregnant environment for emerging songwriters, poets, and performance artists. Many moved from cutting their artistic teeth to become some of the area's strongest and most prolific artists."
Dyson continues, impassionedly, "It was a time of artistic experimentation, great Caribbean cuisine, and good clean fun! It was marked by multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-disciplinary harmony. Just what the world should be."
