Artist Profile
If the music of Bob Marley has the immediate hook of a greatly crafted melody, the lyrics clarify themselves truly only to the awoken mind. No matter how much you think you understand their depth and how the reggae rythmic (especially when acoustically sparse) cleverly carries it, you will only discover them through experience and it takes you back to that chorus… No one but yourself can free your mind. All that Marley’s music does is help to ignite the process.
Bob Marley, was the lead singer-songwriter and guitarist for the Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae bands The Wailers and Bob Marley & The Wailers and remains the most widely known and revered performer of Reggae music, credited for helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience. His vision of One World, One Love (inspired by his belief in Rastafari) and his wisdom transpire in his songs and inspired and influenced music and lives beyond his home, his genre and his time. His powerfully evocative and spiritually prophetic lyrics as well as his revolutionary sound make up the artistic legacy of an exceptional music legend.
