Burro Banton

Burro Banton is a veteran Jamaican dancehall deejay known for his rough, commanding vocal style and powerful delivery. Emerging in the mid-1980s, he gained recognition for his work with producers like Henry “Junjo” Lawes and King Jammy. He’s best known for his hit track “Boom Wah Dis,” which helped solidify his reputation in the international dancehall scene. Burro's lyrical style combines a deep respect for reggae’s roots with the gritty realism of dancehall's streetwise narratives.

Over the years, Burro Banton has continued to record and perform, keeping the classic sound of 1980s and '90s dancehall alive while collaborating with contemporary producers and artists. His influence can be heard in the music of many younger artists, and he remains a respected figure in reggae and dancehall circles worldwide.
