Born on February 6, 1945, Nesta Robert \u2018Bob\u2019 Marley started out in 1963 with band called The Wailers<\/em>, the greatest band of Jamaica. Together they brought up the beat that conquered the world. In 1974, after The Wailers disbanded, Marley pursued a solo career and continued to popularize reggae music, becoming a global inspiration and mainstream icon. His image has become a symbol of freedom and the fight against oppression. Marley sent powerful messages through his lyrics and created spiritual experiences whenever he performed on stage. On May 11th, 1981, Bob Marley died of cancer in Miami at the age of 36.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Internationally, Marley’s message also continues to reverberate among various indigenous communities. For instance, the Australian Aboriginal people continue to burn a sacred flame to honor his memory in Sydney’s Victoria Park, while members of the Amerindian Hopi and Havasupai tribe revere his work. There are also many tributes to Bob Marley throughout India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob Marley ranks among both the most popular and the most misunderstood figures in modern culture … [He was a] ghetto kid who dreamed of Che Guevara and the Black Panthers, and pinned their posters up in the Wailers Soul Shack record store; who believed in freedom; and the fighting which it necessitated, and dressed the part on an early album sleeve; whose heroes were James Brown and Muhammad Ali… The Bob Marley who surveys his kingdom today is smiling benevolence, a shining sun, a waving palm tree, and a string of hits which tumble out of polite radio like candy from a gumball machine. Of course it has assured his immortality. But it has also demeaned him beyond recognition. Bob Marley was worth far more. (Reggae and Caribbean Music, by Dave Thompson,\u00a0 2002, p. 159).<\/span><\/p>\n

Quotes from Bob:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?<\/span><\/p>\n

Live for yourself and you will live in vain; Live for others, and you will live again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love the life you live; live the life you love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.<\/span><\/p>\n

One love, one heart, one destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet<\/span><\/p>\n

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don\u2019t give up the fight<\/span><\/p>\n

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds<\/span><\/p>\n

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior \/ And another \/ Inferior \/ Is finally \/ And permanently \/ Discredited \/ And abandoned \/ -Everywhere is war \u2013 \/ Me say war.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2014Marley took these lines from a speech by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, before the United Nations General Assembly on 4th October 1963.<\/span><\/p>\n
