Born in 1945 in Nine Mile, Jamaica, Marley rose to fame in the 1970s with his band, The Wailers. His music was infused with themes of social justice, love, and spirituality, making him a voice for the oppressed and marginalized. Hits like “No Woman, No Cry,” “Redemption Song,” and “ #One #Love” continue to #resonate with audiences #worldwide. #Marley’s work not only defined a genre but also served as a catalyst for cultural and political movements. Despite his untimely death in 1981, his legacy lives on, inspiring countless artists and activists to this day.'

Here we can hear Bob anwering many questions to journalists showing the depth of his being and his raw ,uncompromised rastafarian opinions.(aututranslation by youtube)

[fr] Avec l'album Kaya, ce sont les 2 seuls albums de reggae qu'il y avait à la maison. Achetés par une des mes grandes soeurs, ça me changeait de la variété française avec laquelle on me bassinait à longueur de journée et que je détestais déjà d'une force incroyable. Pas étonnant, ensuite, que je me sois tourné vers la musique d'outre-Manche, plus basée sur les synthétiseurs et le psychédélisme plus ou moins prononcé et les mouvements musicaux marginaux plus ou moins expérimentaux.
Pour en revenir à Bob, ces deux albums, je les connaissais par coeur, à force de les avoir écoutés.

‘It felt like history itself’ – 48 protest photographs that changed the world

The Guardian

Protest can change everything. Which is why governments around the world want to suppress it. In a week when thousands in the US expressed their fury over Roe v Wade, we look back at some of the images that helped rewrite laws and change the way we think.

Governments tend to define democracy as narrowly as possible. The story they tell goes as follows: you vote; the majority party takes office; you leave it to govern on your behalf for the next four or five years. (...)

We have seen what happens if we leave politics to governments. Fairly elected or not, they will, without effective public pressure, abuse their power. (...)

Trust in governments destroys democracy, which survives only through constant challenge. It requires endless disruption of the cosy relationship between our representatives and powerful forces: the billionaire press, plutocrats, political donors, friends in high places. What challenge and disruption mean, above all, is protest. (...)

A government that cannot tolerate protest is a government that cannot tolerate democracy.

Such governments are becoming a global norm. In the UK, two policing bills in quick succession seek to shut down all effective forms of protest. (...)

In the US, state legislatures have been undermining the federal right to protest, empowering the police to use catch-all offences such as “trespass” or “disrupting the peace” to break up demonstrations and make arrests. (...) In Russia, a new law against “discrediting the armed forces” has been used to prosecute dissenters engaging in actions as mild as writing “no to war” in the snow. Similar draconian laws are being imposed by governments in many other nations.

Why do governments want to ban protest? Because it’s effective. Why do they want us to accept their narrow vision of democracy? Because it makes our power ineffective. (...)

The extraordinary people in these images understand this – from suffragettes picketing the White House in 1917 to Patsy Stevenson being manhandled by police at last year’s Sarah Everard vigil; from relatives of those killed at Amritsar in India in 1919 to those taking to the streets after George Floyd’s murder in the US.

Almost everything of importance is disintegrating fast: ecosystems, the health system, standards in public life, equality, human rights, terms of employment. (...) Business as usual is a threat to life on Earth. Disrupting it is the greatest civic duty of all. (...)

Ich als Mensch mit Migrationshintergrund freue mich immer wieder, wenn ich von der #Ampelkoalition höre. #Jamaica war ja auch ne Möglichkeit, die drin lag, und #Schwarz-Rot. Warum fragt ihr Euch da sicher; warum freut mich sowas belangloses? Sowas wie Koalitionen war für mich was neues, klar, früher im Radio gehört aber nicht sonderlich interessant gefunden...Aha, das ist die Farbe der Parteien, die regieren. Und warum nimmt man #Ampel, warum #Jamaica und warum #schwarzrot, was in #GroKo mündete, schlussendlich? Weil dann alle Bescheid wissen, höre ich. man nimmt die Flaggen anderer Nationalstaaten, wie Jamaica. Warum ist dann die #Ampel die Ampel und nicht die #Kongokoalition? Man könnte sie dann zärtlich KoKo nennen. Warum ist die GroKo nicht die Albanienkoalition? Das wäre sehr modern, und hat auch einen sehr schönen Adler. Ich vermute einfach, aus Rassismus. Aber ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich mich irren würde. #bezeichnungen #eigenarten #besserodernichtsogut #koalitionspartner

Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, visionary master of reggae, dies aged 85

Producer and performer who worked with #BobMarley and pioneered both #dub and roots #reggae styles dies in hospital in #Jamaica

Perry was born Rainford Hugh Perry in the Hanover parish of north-west Jamaica in 1936, and left school when he was young: “There was nothing to do except field work, so I started playing dominoes and learned to read the minds of others,” he said. He was hired by Clement #Coxsone Dodd, head of reggae studio and label #StudioOne, as an assistant, then as a talent scout, DJ, store manager and eventually a recording artist. He earned his “Scratch” nickname from an early recording, The Chicken Scratch, in 1965.

In the first of the many spats that dotted his career, Perry split with Dodd and began working with the producer and label head Joe Gibbs, who in turn was cast aside by #Perry. He became increasingly independent, forming his own backing band the Upsetters, with a string of early releases fixated on spaghetti westerns: Return of Django, Clint Eastwood, The Good, the Bad and the Upsetters, and more.

In 1973, he built his own studio, the renowned Black Ark. He experimented with drum machines and the potential of studio equipment. As well as firing guns, breaking glass and sampling animal noises, he also blew marijuana smoke on to master tapes to supposedly enhance the recordings. He pioneered the technique of dub versions of reggae tracks, with the bass emphasised, vocals sometimes removed, and reverb added to create an eerie, echoing sonic space. “I see the studio must be like a living thing, a life itself,” he said. “The machine must be live and intelligent. Then I put my mind into the machine and the machine perform reality.”
