Today February 6, 2012 we celebrate the 67th anniversary of the birth of Robert Nesta Marley aka Soul Rebel aka The Gong…..Man, Mystic, Prophet, Musician, Freedom Fighter.
This man from Jamaica; an island in center of the western Caribbean strode like a musical colossus upon this planet and left an indelible mark upon mankind. His music spoke on behalf of the down trodden, the depressed and distressed, he was the voice of the voiceless.
His music was and still is a catalyst for the cause of freedom and equal rights. Notes from his guitar has provided courage for those who faced their darkest hour and fortified the mettle of those whose belief had waned.
The freedom fighters of Southern Africa have attested to the fact that it was Bob Marley’s music that provided the hope and inspiration during their long arduous struggle.
To this day he continues to be an icon of humanity…..a musical genius who continues to outsell major artistes; dead and living. He was gone too soon but his timeless music will always be with us.
R.I.P brother Bob your work continues……..
