 Before I begin, I want to say that in this exhibition I am going to focus more on aspects

of his life, rather than on his musical career. since I consider that I am more of a fan of
his person than of his songs, no matter how much I like them
 Robert Nesta Marley better known as Bob Marley, was a Jamaican singer and
songwriter. During his musical career he was the leader, songwriter and guitarist for
the bands The Wailers, which later became known as Bob Marley & The Wailers.

Marley remains the best known and most respected performer of reggae music and is
credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafarian movement to a
worldwide audience. 1

He has recorded nearly 75 million records sold, being one of the top-selling music artists.

In addition to being the greatest exponent of reggae music, singer Bob Marley played a
fundamental role in representing Rastafarian culture with his image and making it known to
the world, where until then it was completely unknown.

Among his biggest hits are the singles "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Jamming",
"Redemption Song" and, together with The Wailers, "Three Little Birds", as well as the
posthumous release " Buffalo Soldier. The compilation album Legend, released by Island
Records in 1984, three years after his death, is the best-selling reggae album in history with 15
platinum records in the United States2 and more than 25 million copies worldwide. 3

 He was one of the pioneering artists in transmitting to the international public the
philosophy and lifestyle of this religion or way of life, which promotes black supremacy
and African roots, and whose followers are identified by their "dreadlocks and the
sacramental use of marijuana.
 In the 1970s, Jamaica experienced a worsening of its already typical political violence;
the situation degenerated into a street civil war between gangs of militant gunmen
from the two main traditional political parties, the People's National Party (democratic
socialist) and the Jamaica Labor Party (centre-right conservative). The Jamaican Army
and Police took to the streets, but were unable to contain the violence between the
two warring factions.

Bob Marley was then an apolitical pacifist in Jamaica, an already established musician and a
true promoter of the Rastafarian faith. He decided to participate in a free concert at Kingston's
National Heroes Park on December 5, 1976 to promote peace and national reconciliation, and
thus help curb violence.

On December 3, 1976, two days before "Smile Jamaica," Marley, his wife Rita, Lewis Griffith,
and manager Don Taylor were injured in a bombing attack by unknown gunmen inside their
home, from which all except their mother recovered. women. Two days after the attack,
Marley got on stage and sang. When asked why, he said: "The people who are trying to make
this world worse don't take a day off, how could I? Illuminates the darkness". It was Marley's
last show in Jamaica for the next 18 months.
