Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first
Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process
introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung
corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day
struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the
plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout
spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of
faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to
live on not only through the music of his extended family but also
through generations of artists the world over touched by his genius.
