Web Sitio web http:/ / www. bobmarley. com/ Robert Nesta Marley Booker (6 de febrero de 1945 – 11 de mayo de 1981), más conocido como Bob Marley, fue un músico, guitarrista y compositor jamaiquino. Durante su carrera musical fue el líder, compositor y guitarrista de las bandas de ska, rocksteady y reggae The Wailers (1964–1974) y Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Marley sigue siendo el más conocido y respetado intérprete de la música reggae y es acreditado por ayudar a difundir tanto la música de Jamaica como el movimiento rastafari (del que era un miembro comprometido) a una audiencia mundial.[2] Entre sus mayores éxitos se encuentran los sencillos "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Jamming", "Redemption Song" y, junto a The Wailers, "Three Little Birds", así como el lanzamiento póstumo "Buffalo Soldier". El álbum recopilatorio Legend, lanzado en 1984, tres años después de su muerte, es el álbum de Bob Marley 2 reggae más vendido de la historia con 10 discos de platino en los Estados Unidos[3] y 20 millones de copias en todo el mundo.[][] Biografía Orígenes Robert Nesta Marley Booker nació el 6 de febrero de 1945 en Nine Mile (Rhoden Hall, Saint Ann Parish), una pequeña localidad al norte de la isla de Jamaica, en el Mar Caribe. Era hijo de Cedella Booker, una afro-jamaiquina que tenía 18 años[4] (cuando nació Bob) y de Norval Marley, un jamaiquino blanco de ascendencia inglesa (su familia provenía de Essex), capitán de los Marines Reales (infantería de marina británica), quien se consideraba inglés, debido a que al ingresar a las Fuerzas Armadas Británicas para la Primera Guerra Mundial, en el fomulario dijo ser inglés, para que no se le cuestionara mayor cosa (y porque en esa época Jamaica era una colonia del Reino Unido y su población blanca tenía la nacionalidad británica). La fecha de nacimiento de Norval es motivo de controversia ya que según muchas fuentes nació en 1895 (por lo que tendría 50 años cuando nació su hijo Bob Marley) pero según otras fuentes nació mucho antes, en 1881. Aunque Norval ayudaba económicamente a su mujer y a su hijo, rara vez veía a su hijo por pasar el tiempo viajando; además, según algunas fuentes su madre (la abuela de Bob) lo presionaba para que se alejara del niño por prejuicios racistas. El padre de Bob murió cuando éste tenía 10 años, en 1955. Bob Marley tuvo que soportar burlas y desprecios por parte de negros jamaiquinos por su condición de mulato (mestizo producto de la mezcla de blanco y negro), sobre todo en su niñez, adolescencia y temprana juventud (se dice que el hermano de su primera novia le dijo que «no queremos blancos en esta casa»). Pero después Bob se demostró indiferente a esos desaires y decía no avergonzarse de su mezcla racial; aunque él se identificaba simplemente como negro y esa fue la única parte de su herencia racial por la que demostró interés. Nine Miles es un pueblo que está a 3 horas de la capital, Kingston, que obtuvo su nombre por su tamaño -el cual abarca nueve millas. Cedella Marley luchaba cada día por sacar adelante a su hijo, vivían en la pobreza, por lo que en casa no contaban con agua, ni electricidad. Viviendo así en Nine Miles, Bob conoció a quien llegaría a ser su más frecuente amigo -Bunny Wailer. Cedella y el padre de Bunny empezaron a tener una relación, y es esta razón por la cual Bob y Bunny compartían una hermana. Siendo una familia de 5, buscando prosperidad, se mudan a Kingston, la capital de Jamaica. Fue con Bunny, con quien Bob comenzó a interesarse por la música, llegando a componer y tocar algunas canciones. Muy influenciados por la música de Raymond Charles, Curtis Mayfield, Brook Benton o Fats Domino, y de grupos como The Drifters muy populares en Jamaica que se escuchaban en la emisiones radiofónicas de las emisoras del sur de los Estados Unidos. Bob Marley alternó el trabajo en una empresa de fundición (donde se quemó en un ojo) con la música. Bob y Bunny recibieron formación musical de Joe Higgs, un cantante venido a menos que había gozado de cierta fama en Jamaica y que se ganaba la vida impartiendo clases de canto para principiantes. En una de esas clases conocieron a otro joven músico llamado Winston Hubert McIntosh (Peter Tosh). En 1962 Bob Marley participó en una audición para un productor musical llamado Leslie Kong que, impresionado, le invitó a grabar algunas canciones. Al año siguiente Bob decidió que el mejor camino para alcanzar su sueño, lo tenía planteado acaso, no lo sabremos, mediante un grupo. Compartió su idea con Bunny y Peter y los tres formaron los Wailing Wailers (literalmente, ‘gritos de protesta’). El nuevo grupo ganó la simpatía del percusionista rastafari Alvin Patterson, que los presentó al productor Clement Dodd. A mediados de 1963 Dodd vio a los Wailing Wailers y decidió promocionar al grupo. Los Wailing Wailers lanzaron su primer single, Simmer Down, con la discográfica Coxsone a finales de 1963. La formación original estaba compuesta por Bob, Bunny, Peter, Junior Braithwaite y dos coristas, Beverly Kelso y Cherry Smith. Bob Marley 3 The Wailers Mientras tanto, la madre de Bob, Cedella, se había casado nuevamente y se había mudado a Delaware, Estados Unidos, tras un importante esfuerzo económico. Ella deseaba dar a Bob una nueva vida en este país, pero antes del viaje, él conoció a Rita Anderson y el 10 de febrero de 1966 se casaron. Bob Marley pasó apenas ocho meses con su madre en Wilmington, Delaware. Allí consigue un trabajo en el turno de noche de una planta de automóviles de Chrysler. Bob llegó a Kingston en octubre de 1966, apenas seis meses después de la visita de Su Majestad Imperial, o Emperador Hailè Selassiè, de Etiopía, que impulsó y renovó el importante movimiento rastafari de la isla. El acercamiento de Bob con la creencia Rastafari comienza a reflejarse en su música. Bob, entretanto, llamó a Peter y Bunny para formar una nueva banda, los míticos The Wailers. Rita también comenzaba su carrera como cantante con un importante éxito llamado Pied Piper, una versión de una canción pop inglesa. En Jamaica, la frenética ola del ska estaba dando lugar a un ritmo más lento y sensual llamado rocksteady. Las creencias rastafari de los Wailers chocaron con Dodd y éstos fundaron su propio sello discográfico, Wail’N’Soul. A pesar de conseguir algunos éxitos, el sello no responde a las expectativas y quiebra en 1967. El grupo sobrevive fungiendo como compositores de una compañía asociada a un cantante estadounidense, Johnny Nash, quien en la década siguiente tendría un gran éxito con la canción Stir It Up, de Bob. Los Wailers conocieron entonces a un hombre que revolucionaría su trabajo: Lee Perry. La asociación entre Perry y los Wailers trajo consigo algunos de los éxitos más notables de la banda como "Soul Rebel", "Duppy Conqueror", "400 Years" y "Small Axe", clásicos del futuro reggae. En 1970, dos de los músicos más reconocidos de la isla, Aston 'Family Man' Barrett y su hermano Carlton (bajo y batería, respectivamente) se unirán a los Wailers, quienes por aquel entonces arrasaban en el Caribe, pero internacionalmente continuaban siendo desconocidos. Bob Marley and The Wailers en el festival The Summer of '80 Garden Party, el 7 de junio de En el verano de 1971 Bob aceptó una invitación de Johnny Nash para 1980. acompañarlo a Suecia, ocasión en que firmó un contrato con la CBS, que también era la discográfica del estadounidense. En la primavera de 1972 los Wailers aterrizaron en Inglaterra para promocionar el single Reggae on Broadway, pero no cosecharon demasiados éxitos. A la desesperada, Bob visitó los estudios de grabación de Island Records, que había sido la primera discográfica en interesarse por la música jamaiquina, y pidió hablar con su fundador, Chris Blackwell. Blackwell conocía a los Wailers y les ofreció 4 mil libras para grabar un álbum con los últimos avances tecnológicos de la industria musical, los mismos que gozaban las bandas de rock de la época. Ese primer álbum fue Catch a Fire, fuertemente promovido por Island. El disco no fue un éxito inminente, y es que la música y las letras comprometidas socialmente de Bob contrastaban bastante con lo que se estaba haciendo hasta entonces en Europa. Island promovió una gira del grupo por Inglaterra y los Estados Unidos, otra novedad para una banda de reggae. Los Wailers tocaron en Londres en abril de 1973 y tres meses más tarde el grupo volvió a Jamaica. Bunny, desengañado de la vida musical, abandonó la banda antes de la gira estadounidense. En su lugar entró Joe Higgs, el viejo profesor de música de los Wailers.

  • Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari
    Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari Annika McPherson Abstract: While the male focus of early literary representations of Rastafari tends to emphasize the movement’s emergence, goals or specific religious practices, more recent depictions of Rasta women in narrative fiction raise important questions not only regarding the discussion of gender relations in Rastafari, but also regarding the functions of literary representations of the movement. This article outlines a dialogical ‘reasoning’ between the different negotiations of gender in novels with Rastafarian protagonists and suggests that the characters’ individual spiritual journeys are key to understanding these negotiations within the gender framework of Rastafarian decolonial practices. Male-centred Literary Representations of Rastafari Since the 1970s, especially, ‘roots’ reggae and ‘dub’ or performance poetry have frequently been discussed as to their relations to the Rastafari movement – not only based on their lyrical content, but often by reference to the artists or poets themselves. Compared to these genres, the representation of Rastafari in narrative fiction has received less attention to date. Furthermore, such references often appear to serve rather descriptive functions, e.g. as to the movement’s philosophy or linguistic practices. The early depiction of Rastafari in Roger Mais’s “morality play” Brother Man (1954), for example, has been noted for its favourable representation of the movement in comparison to the press coverage of

  • Bob Marley's Music As an Alternative Communicative Channel In
    Bob Marley’s Music as an Alternative Communicative Channel in Postcolonial Movements for Development and Social Change Cara-Marie Findlay Media, Globalization and Development Malmö University October 2020 Findlay 1.2 Essay Introduction 1 Bob Marley’s Music as an Alternative Communicative Channel in Postcolonial Movements for Development and Social Change The mediatization of the world is an important concept to understand in connection to development and social change. As Martin Scott states, “Media not only increase[s] our access to knowledge of events happening around the world, but also (seemingly) enable[s] us to influence them” (Scott, 2014, p. 1). There seems to be a tendency “to focus on the very latest technological supports” (Mattoni & Treré, 2014, p. 255) when considering the social movements of the present. This “technological-fascination bias” often neglects “the relevance that prior technological supports had and continue to have in social movements” (Mattoni & Treré, 2014, p. 255). There is no doubt that today’s technology affects “mediation processes”—the flow, circulation, and interpretation of media (Mattoni & Treré, 2014, p. 260), which in turn affects social movements. However, in the age of the Internet with its latest applications, it can be easy to neglect the roles of alternative media, such as music, in social movements. “Music [has] played an integral role in social movements and liberation movements” (Prestholdt, 2019, p. 77). This essay focuses on Bob Marley’s Music as an alternative communicative channel in postcolonial movements for development and social change. In the context of this essay, postcolonialism refers to both: condition—the state of being after ​ ​ colonialism and imperialism; and to anti-colonialism—against all forms of colonial power (McEwan 2018, pp.

In una sola collezione di 17 cd, gli album da studio originali e i migliori concerti live: tra questi, non può ovviamente mancare "Bob Bob Marley: 40 anni fa l'ultimo Marley & The Wailers-Live Forever: The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh", concerto della star del reggae edizione ufficiale dell'ultimo storico concerto live del "profeta" del reggae. Esattamente 40 anni fa, infatti, il 23 settembre 1980 - data simbolo per tutti i fan del reggae e non solo - Marley e la sua band, The Wailers, si esibivano con il loro "Uprising Tour" in Pennsylvania, allo Stanley Theater. CRISTIAN PEDRAZZINI Sarebbe stato il suo ultimo concerto, prima della prematura scomparsa (11 maggio 1981). Diventato un eroe per milioni di persone grazie a canzoni che parlano di sofferenza e salvezza, sebbene esausto e già provato dalla malattia, in quella serata memorabile Bob Marley propose una grandiosa e trionfale setlist: successi come Coming in from the Cold, Work, Could You Be [email protected] Loved, la leggendaria Redemption Song e Zion Train (tratti dall'album SPETTACOLINEWS.IT pubblicato quell'anno, "Uprising") ma anche classici del suo repertorio come Positive Vibration, No Woman, No Cry, Jamming, Exodus e Is This Love. Get Up Stand Up sarebbe stato ufficialmente l'ultimo brano proposto live. Anni dopo Roger Steffens, biografo ufficiale di Marley, dichiarò: «Bob salì su quel palco sapendo di essere condannato ma, ascoltando lo show, non ci sono segni di dolore, nessuna debolezza: è un'emozione straordinaria». In esclusiva per le edicole, la collana "Bob Marley" proseguirà fino a dicembre con successi intramontabili come "Legend", album reggae più venduto al mondo: sono già disponibili le prime uscite, "UPRISING"; "CATCH A FIRE" e "NATTY DREAD".
