The Bob Marley One Love Experience
A Tribute to Jamaica’s Legendary Reggae Superstar and Global Music Icon
Bob Marley’s first single Judge Not was recorded and produced in Kingston, Jamaica in 1962, just as Jamaica traded the Union Jack for the pride of its own black, green and gold flag as a newly minted independent nation. The man, the music, the message, his memory and his meteoric rise to international stardom is legendary but synonymous with his island home of Jamaica celebrating its 60th Anniversary of Independence. In recognition of this global music icon and lyrical genius’ Diamond Jubilee, The Bob Marley One Love Experience — a curated montage that exhibits, celebrates and commemorates the cultural hero and musical icon — made its global debut in London, United Kingdom earlier this year.
On July 1st the exhibition made its North American debut on Turtle Island in the metropolis of Toronto at the Lighthouse Immersive Artspace and I was enthralled to experience the exposé of Bob’s musical canon from ska, rebel rock to reggae, and the collection of never-before-seen memorabilia that pays homage to his venerable legacy, life, philosophy, passions and family.
