JAMAICA – KINGSTON Tour guide – Mr. Ricky The Honourable Robert Nesta Marley O.M. (1945-1981) Born on February 6, 1945, in Rhoden Hall, Nine Miles, St. Ann, Robert Nesta Marley took Reggae music and its message into the hearts of millions worldwide. His voice represented the downtrodden with a sense of triumph and survival. The success of Bob Marley, and the group the Wailers, began with his conversion to the Rastafarian faith in the government yards in Trench Town, Kingston, and with that the release of their first album “Catch a Fire” in 1972. The production of other great albums such as “Exodus”, “Kaya”, “Confrontation”, “Uprising”, and “Survival”, propelled Reggae music to the International stage. On May 11, 1981 Bob Marley passed on at the age of thirty-six, just before he was awarded the nation’s third highest Honour, the Order of Merit, making him the Honourable Robert Nesta Marley O.M. He was baptized in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as Berhane Selassie, meaning “Light of the Trinity.” The Bob Marley Museum, former residence and headquarters of his record company, Tuff Gong, was opened to the public on May 11, 1986. It portrays the life and achievements of this internationally acclaimed musical legend and Rastafarian luminary through artifacts, memorabilia, writings and photographs. The site was designated a protected national heritage site on May 31, 2001, by virtue of Bob Marley’s significant contribution to the establishment of Reggae music as a part of Jamaica’s cultural heritage. “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. Hit me with music … hit me with music now.” -- Bob Marley Time Magazine – The 30 sexiest Black Man of our time, No. 2 Bob Marley People: Haile Selassie, Bob Marley & 7 sons – Ziggy, Stephan, Rohan, Julian, Ky-Mani, Damian, Robert. https://www.thoughtco.com/bob-marleys-children-3552697 TUFF GONG (Recording label): “Jah records as he registers the peoples, This one was born here, Singers and dancers alike says, All my springs are in you. – by Jah Wise Selah, 78 THREE LITTLE BIRDS Don’t worry about a thing, ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright, Singing “Don’t worry about a thing, ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright.” Rise up this mornin’, Smiled with the risin’ sun, Three little birds Pitch by my doorstep Singin’ sweet songs Of melodies pure and true, Saying, (“this is my message to you”) - Bob Marley The Shot Room (assassination attempt) 1love.org – “We invite you to make a difference, get involved and join the 1love movement today!” Possesions make you rich?

Praise him According to his excellent Greatness. Praise him with the Sound of the trumpet: Praise him With the Psaltery and harp. Praise him with stringed instruments And organs. Praise him upon the loud Cymbals: Praise him upon high sounding cymbals. Jah Be Praise. Rita Marley O.D. (Nana Afun Addobea 1) Founder of the Bob Marley Museum Internationally, the name Marley has become synonymous with reggae music and the culture of Jamaica. The talented young Rita Anderson, who was raised from childhood in Trench Town, was destined to become an integral part of the musical Marley family. Sister Rita met a Trench Town youth, Robert Nesta Marley, and love, faith, and music became their bond. In 1966 they were married and their lives became forever entwined. In 1986, Mrs. Marley had the vision and wisdom to transform Bob Marley’s home into the Bob Marley Museum. It is in her capacity as Founder and Chairperson of the Robert Marley Foundation, the Bob Marley Museum and the Rita Marley Foundation, that Nana Rita continues to carry on the Legacy of her husband Bob Marley. In 1996, the Jamaican government awards Mrs. Rita Marley the Order of Distinction of her outstanding work and accomplishments. Mrs. Rita Marley O.D. is a proud, vibrant, confident Jamaican woman who is thankful for her many blessing and continues to give back to Jamaica and Africa the two societies she loves dearly.

Aotearoa NZ is no exception to this trend wherein the direct action message that Bob Marley preached to ‘get up stand up’ supported the radical engagements in the public sphere prompted by Black Power.1 In many ways, Marley’s message and demeanour vindicated the radical oppositional strategies that activists had deployed against the Babylon system in contradistinction to the Te Aute Old Boy tradition of tactful engagement. No surprise, then, that roots reggae was sometimes met with consternation by elders, although much of the issue revolved specifically around the smoking of Marijuana, the wisdom weed.2 Yet some activists and gang members paid closer attention to the trans- mission, through the music, of a faith cultivated in the Caribbean, which professed Ethiopia as the root and Haile Selassie I as the agent of redemption. And they decided to make it their faith too.

Middleton Texas Christian University f art is the engine that powers religion’s vehicle, then reggae music is the 740hp V12 underneath the hood of I the Rastafari. Not all reggae music advances this movement’s message, which may best be seen as an anticolonial theo-psychology of black somebodiness, but much reggae does, and this is because the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley OM, aka Tuff Gong, took the message as well as the medium and left the Rastafari’s track marks throughout the world.1 Scholars have been analyzing such impressions for years, certainly since the melanoma-ravaged Marley transitioned on May 11, 1981 at age 36. Marley was gone too soon.2 And although “such a man cannot be erased from the mind,” as Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga said at Marley’s funeral, less sanguine critics left others thinking that Marley’s demise caused reggae music’s engine to cough, splutter, and then die.3 Commentators were somewhat justified in this initial assessment. In the two decades after Marley’s tragic death, for example, reggae music appeared to abandon its roots, taking on a more synthesized feel, leading to electronic subgenres such as 1 This is the basic thesis of Carolyn Cooper, editor, Global Reggae (Kingston, Jamaica: Canoe Press, 2012).
