Bob Marley - Bob Marley - Slogans (click on his name and watch his videoz at urbanvideoz.com)
Opgegroeid in the Ghetto's van Kingston, Jamaica (genaamd Trenchtown), was Bob getuige van het effect van slechte politiek.
Gewapend met de wetenschap en wijsheid van Rastafari en muziek, kon Bob ontsnappen uit de cirkel van geweld en leed.le to escape the cycle of violence and suffering that plagued many of his fellow Jamaicans. Labeled as 'the Third World's first superstar', Bob Marley was a messenger for reggae and the Rastaman Vibration to the entire world. With a magical blend of tribal rhythms, dance hall beats, and soothing vocals, Bob Marley (with and without The Wailers) struck a chord in the hearts of people worldwide.
With songs and spiritual chants, Marley lets the world know that love, healing, and peace are available to those who seek them. Marley had the ability to spread his message of peace and overcoming suffering to the entire world through his music and countless interviews.
Bob's death of cancer, at the early age 36 in 1981, was shrouded in mystery. Some feel that he was assassinated by the CIA, who feared the awesome power of his message. This theory is not unlikely, the CIA was known to be involved in the politics of Jamaica, and Marley definitely had more of an effect on the citizens than any politician could wish for. He was the king of Reggae, and Reggae was the voice of the Jamaican people. Whether or not he was murdered, Bob Marley continues to give people hope and direction to this very day.
Although some may misunderstand Rastafari or the use of GanJah (marijuana) to aid in meditation, there is no denying the profound effect his legacy has had on our civilization. Bob Marley proved to billions of people that the pen is mightier than the sword. When you light your next spliff, think of the fire that Bob lit beneath the foundation of Babylon. Jah is with us all, and that cannot be changed by ignorance or false teachings. Over two decades after his passing his popularity continues to grow across the globe.
