Bob Marley

Another famous figure that spreads activism through music is the widely renowned reggae artist Bob Marley. His music speaks of artistic and political insights on power and repression, gangland warfare and different eras of mystical wilderness.

Born Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley, he is largely credited in popularizing Jamaican music. Bob leads and plays various roles in the band: The Wailers, including singer, guitarist, and songwriter to the pulsating tune of fused reggae, rocksteady and ska. Nearly 30 years dead, his music still strives and inspires many musicians, artists and other people in different walks of life, whatever generation.

Bob Marley’s best-selling album—Legend reached platinum ten times selling over 12 million original copies, after its release in 1984, three years after his death. The album comprises of all-time favorite tracks from the legend himself and several songs from the Bob Marley and the Wailers' collection.

Reggae was borne out of the Rastafari movement culture with which Bob Marley was a firm believer. His life and legacy continues to live on in the wide-ranging audiences that his music attracts. His sons and daughters, many following his musical footsteps are also making a mark in the industry.

Long-live the Reggae Legend.
