The Musical and Political Legacy of Bob Marley
Almost 21 years after his death, Bob Marley is still considered Reggae music’s most internationally know figure. Not only did his sound effect a generation of pop music, but he also brought his Rastafarian influenced messages to the four corners of the world. He became the voice of the poor and the oppressed. This hour, one of the world’s leading experts on Bob Marley examines the political and social influence of his music. Plus, we look at the issues facing the world today and how Bob Marley’s message would apply to them.
