Boom. Die-hard fans of reggae music are good to go for this year’s edition of Robert Nesta Marley Day on Saturday May 11 at Freedom Park, Lagos. This former colonial prison which has been the traditional venue for this annual tribute concert will be packed with fans of Bob Marley who appreciate his music legacy.
Born Robert Nesta Marley, this Jamaican reggae icon was a singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Known as one of the pioneers of the genre, Marley’s contribution to music increased the visibility of Jamaican music worldwide, making him a global figure in popular culture.
Famed for his outspoken support for democratic sometimes controversial social reforms like the legalisation of cannabis, Bob Marley advocated for Pan-Africanism and was a non-conforming artist.
From being the ghetto kid who dreamed of Che Guevara and the Black Panthers, he rose to become a freedom fighter and died at 36.
