Bob Marley pioneered the reggae music genre by incorporating elements of ska and rocksteady to create his own form of world music that he considered to be ‘for the people.’
During his illustrious career, Marley recorded 13 studio albums, beginning with The Wailing Wailers (1965), and ending with Confrontation (1983), which was the only album to be released posthumously.
Marley died in 1981 at the age of just 36 from cancer.
“The family produced it with Paramount Studio and for us, it represents the continuation of Bob’s message and growth. With this release we look forward to inspiring not only the long-time fans but also the younger generation, giving them a vehicle that opens the door to explore Bob’s life and music and in so doing expand his universal message of unification, justice and peace throughout the earth”, commented Marley’s eldest son Ziggy Marley.
“We do this with purpose and are delighted to share with you the trailer for Bob Marley One Love the movie. RASTAFARI.”
