Why this legend matters
Bob Marley made reggae global without sanding down its roots. The offbeat guitar, deep pocket, spiritual language, and political conviction all stayed intact as the songs crossed borders.
That integrity is why the records still move people who were born decades after he died.
Signature style
Roots reggae, offbeat rhythmic guitar (skank), protest lyrics, Rastafari spirituality
