Bob Marley: Songs of African RedemptionBob Marley is one of the most legendary artists of our time - his music continues to inspire, both in its protest engagement, and the sense of empowerment his songs give. However, among the masses of people congregating around the reggae-culture movement, appreciable knowledge of the essence of his life, music and message is rare. This book is not just another facts-and-figures folio but a serious appraisal of the meaning and purpose of those songs, and interpretations. |
