As is now customary, the Bob Marley: Uprising 80 lineup blends experienced performers with exciting up-and-coming acts, covering a broad spectrum of popular Jamaican music styles. From the “anointed sounds of Bugle” to conscious crooners Kumar Fyah and Mortimer, Kelly Shane, as well as Naomi Cowan, Quan Dajai, and Alexx A-Game, all of whom featured in the “Bob Marley: One Love” biopic released in 2024.
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.
