THE 70th birthday elebrations for reggae icon Bob Marley is a big deal, with a number of events planned globally.
One of them, A Global Call for One Love, will be held in California February 6-7. It is staged by the One Love Foundation, operated by American author Robert Roskind.
“The events will be held at two different venues. The first will be at the Mateel Community Center in Redway and the following day it will be at The Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz,” Roskind said in a statement.
Scheduled to appear on both gigs (which will be streamed live) are Luciano, Prezident Brown, Admiral Tibet, Kenyatta Hill and Sister Carol.
“It’s an invitation to us all to make the same commitment as Bob made. To devote our lives to healing the planet through love, forgiveness and justice,” Roskind said.
The One Love Foundation was founded by Roskind and his daughter Alicia. They have produced a number of similar events marking Marley’s February 6 birthday in Jamaica, including the 60th anniversary celebrations 10 years ago.
Marley, who died in May 1981, performed several times in California which has a vibrant roots-reggae scene.
