Join Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio (Ch. 19) for a unique celebration honouring Bob, curated with family and staff, live from the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica. “C’mon” and pay tribute to this beloved superstar with special guests Chris Martin, Cecile, Jesse Royal, Lutan Fyah, Pam Hall, D’Yani, Yeza, and more.
Listen on Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio (Ch. 19) on Bob’s birthday, February 6 at 5 pm ET.
The exciting One Love 79 tribute concert showcases both established and upcoming acts on what is sure to be a thrilling bill in honour of Bob Marley’s 79th birthday. The digital event will be beamed live from Kingston’s legendary Tuff Gong studio.
The lineup encompasses a broad array of popular Jamaican music styles, from the classic soul-inflected tones of versatile veteran Pam Hall to the up-to-the-moment “street culture” sounds of rising stars D’Yani and Yeza. Conscious crooners Lutan Fyah and Jesse Royal, reggae popster Chris Martin and “original bad gyal” Ce’cile — all exceedingly well-travelled and beloved in their concentric reggae/dancehall circles — round out the lineup. Renowned radio host Ron Muschette takes on hosting duties.
Reggae’s most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley, was the first Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung corners of the globe.
Marley’s music gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the plight of the country’s impoverished and oppressed but also the devout spirituality that remains their source of strength.
Backed by his all-star band, the Wailers, Marley delivered classics in the ska era of the early ’60s, all but invented roots music with ’70s albums like Catch a Fire, and offered millions of listeners an entry point to reggae with his posthumous best-of collection, 1984′s Legend.
His songs of faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to live on not only through the music of his extended family but also through generations of artists around the world touched by his genius.
