EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the electrifying moment when Brinsley Forde, founder member and lead vocalist of the iconic reggae band Aswad, takes the stage at an open-air concert in Penwith, Cornwall during the summer of 1983. The 80s were a golden era for reggae music, and Aswad was one of the genre's most successful acts, known for their distinctive sound that blended elements of Jamaican rhythms with British influences. Forde, with his distinctive dreadlocks and caps adorned with Rastafarian symbols, is seen here in his element, holding his guitar and mic, ready to captivate the crowd with his soulful voice and infectious energy. The image captures the raw power and passion of his performance, as he connects with the audience through the medium of music. The open-air setting of Penwith, with its lush greenery and picturesque landscape, adds to the sense of freedom and joy that permeates the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of reggae music and the magnetic charisma of its performers. Forde's stage presence and style, with his cap, guitar, and dreadlocks, continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike. This image is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the rich history of reggae music and the transformative power of live performance.
