Bob Marley Quotes

Bob Marley is door zijn muzikale en lyrische genialiteit een profeet genoemd.

The music of Robert Nesta Marley, the late Jamaican musician who introduced both reggaemusic and Rastafarian religious beliefs to an international audience, combines a “feel good,”slow-paced rhythm with a militant call for justice and freedom from oppression.

Robert Marley has been called a prophet, a psalmist for the Rastafarian religion, an advocate for an African homeland for the descendants of slavery still struggling to develop a sense of identity in what he called “Babylon,” a peace- maker, a troublemaker, a musical genius, and the first Third World superstar. Marley was a complex man housed within an apparently simple guise. His speech sounded, to the uninitiated, like the ramblings of a “pothead” (ganja, or marijuana, was a part of both his religion and his philosophy), yet contained revelatory and revolutionary truth for those who had ears to hear.

Robert Marley skillfully blended multiple cultures, syncretistic religious influences, and a commitment to freedom, justice, hope, and unity through the gift of his musical and lyrical genius. He never saw himself as anything other than a messenger of Jah, and used his music as a device to empower persons toward personal and corporate transformation.

Open your eyes and look within

Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?

We know where we’re going; we know where we’re from

We’re leaving Babylon, we’re going to our fatherland.

Enjoy!
