29 Years Later The Legend Lives


Its hard to believe, its been 29 years since the world lost a musican and revolutionary, that sparked the cords of love and harmony into the hearts of many. Bob Marley still remains one of the most influential people to this time. He´s love of reggae music and rastafarian is credited for his vision of love, peace and harmony in the world. Leaving a collective library of music that changes the world. His music spoke for those who were oppressed, lack of self expression, and human rights. His biggest hits include,“I Shot the Sheriff“, “No Woman, No Cry“, “Could You Be Loved“, “Stir It Up“, “Jamming“, “Redemption Song“, “One Love” and, together with The Wailers, “Three Little Birds“,as well as the posthumous releases “Buffalo Soldier” and “Iron Lion Zion“. His defining moment came "two days before he was supposed to perform he was shot. "two days later, he walked on stage and performed" and they asked him in a interview why didn't he rest, and he said "the people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I, light up the darkness" Today his imprints can be found all over the world. He had this notion, the only way to cure hate and racism, is by injecting it with love and music." Maybe he´s not here in the physical form, but he´s more alive now than ever. Thanks to music and love he left behind.
