Zimbabwe ZimBOBwe

I just started this blog so I thought id do another post today.  Robert Nesta Marley, aka, Bob Marley was one of the most important people in bringing reggae music to the main stream music scene. Heavily influenced by social and political issues, "The Skipper" wrote some of the most influential music ever. Here are three videos id like to share of two songs.

This is a rare studio session of Bob rehearsing Zimbabwe. The sound comes in at out at points, but I think its a cool video. Heres another version of the song, performed for Zimbabwe's independence celebration.

Lastly, Heres the song Top Rankin'. With todays highly charged political atmosphere I think that this song says a lot. Everyone needs to unite as people, and just live life.

 

They don't want to see us unite:
All they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting.
They don't want to see us live together:
All they want us to do is keep on killing one another.
~Bob Marley (Top Rankin')
