It must run in the blood, so to speak. The ecstatic popularity created by none other than the great Bob Marley was passed over to his children, making the Jamaican music scene even more exuberant end exciting.
The country that gave birth to the laid back sound of reggaeton has continued creating more descendants, who later on contributed to the much celebrated genre which the country is very much known for.
Bob Marley – this is a definitive name by its self. The significance of his career and talent left a clear mark in the audience of the worldwide scene. Born in 1945, the singer who first started in a band named The Wailers eventually plowed a career that broke the boundaries of culture separation through his music.
His influence is clearly described in his recorded sales of an impressive 70 million copies. Known to convey meaningful messages regarding war and other substantial topics, Bob Marley has captured the hearts of many.
Ziggy Marley, born as David Nesta Marley, is the first born of the legendary Bob Marley who made a career that exposed his real talent more than the surname he has. Of course, the name Marley made it easier, but the eldest son of the family proved that there is more to him than just his name because true talent resides within.
Ziggy started his career singing alongside his siblings. The world first knew him when he performed during his father’s funeral with his brother Stephen. His piece “Tomorrow People” made it possible for his band The Melody Makers to bring home a Grammy for Best Reggae Recording in 1988.
Damian Marley, the youngest son of Bob, started his career at the age of thirteen. A progeny with Miss World Cindy Breakspeare, Damian – or Junior Gong as what he is called by his relatives was also able to shove curtains and make a name for himself beyond his surname.
Damian’s 2004 single Welcome to Jamrock broke grounds that allowed him to bag two Grammy awards. With the help of his brother Stephen, he wrote and made music as a solo performer and gathered critically acclaimed pieces like “Halfway Tree” in 2001.
