Bob Marley
Bob Marley (Robert Nesta Marley) was born on February 6,1945 in Nine Miles in the parish of St. Ann, Jamaica. His father (Norval Sinclair Marley) was an English marine-officer and his mother (Cedella 'Ciddy' Malcom) was a native Jamaican who lived in Rhoden Hall. After Bob was born, his father left his mother.When Bob was five, his father took him to Kingston so he could get a better education; however, Marley ended up living with his grandmother, who was unable to properly look after him. He ended up on the streets hanging out with the various gangs of Kingston, later known as "Rude Boys". One year later Bob bumped into one of his mother's friends. He told her that he had not received the education his father had intended for him. She told his mother and soon Bob was reunited with his mother. A couple of years later Bob and his mother moved to Trench Town (West-Kingston) because his mother was looking for a job. Bob Marley loved the fast life in the big city, as well the music of Fats Domino and Ray Charles. One of Bob's friends, known as "Bunny" was into music and he and Bob, with the help of Trenchtown's famous singer, Joe Higgs, perfected their vocal abilities. It was during one of these informal lessons for aspirin
In regards to style and culture it is Bob Marley who made known and popularized the religion of Rastafari and although viewed as antiestablishment Bob Marley practiced and promoted the smoking of ganja (marijuana) as a way to open the mind in order to meditate as preached in the religion of rasta. The album showed Bob in a different mood: love songs and homage's to the power of ganja (marijuana). The Wailers changed their music from ska to rocksteady now known as reggae. The rastafari smoke ganja to come closer to Jah (God). Among the concerts were two shows at the Lyceum Ballroom in London. Bob was transported back to Miami, where he was baptized by Berhane Selassie in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (a Christian church) on November 4, 1980. On July 20, 1977, the remaining concerts of the Exodus Tour were canceled. At the end of the seventies, Bob Marley & The Wailers were the most important band on the road and they broke the festival records on the European continent. Their first single from this label was Bend Down Low/Mellow Mood. Later that year Bob got the Peace Medal of the Third World from the United Nations. He was the leader of the increasingly growing Rastafarian movement/religion. It contained unreleased songs, reshaped songs and songs that had only been released in Jamaica.
