Hvert år i februar fejrer reggae-fans verden over legenden Bob Marleys fødselsdag, og i år sker det med ekstra manér i København, idet hans søn, Ky-Mani Marley, står på scenen i Pumpehuset i Studiestræde.
Det foregår her fredag d. 15. februar, hvor dørene åbnes kl. 20 og koncerten starter kl. 21.
Pumpehuset skriver i sin foromtale bl.a.:
Bob Marley was born on Feb. 6, 1945 in Nine Mile, ST. Anns Jamaica. Every year in February reggae fans all over the world celebrates The King Of reggae music birthday as a reminder of his work for peace, love and liberty.
Songs such as “Jamming,” “Waiting in Vain,” “War,” and “One Love/People Get Ready,” has the message of Love, Peace and Social Justice, which has touched, uplifted and gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of so many people around the world, even today.
Sky Juice Promotions continues to honor The King by celebrating his life and music with a Earth day celebration called * WE JAMMIN *.

“That’s it,” Ky-Mani says of the recollection that inspired his soul-wrenching “Dear Dad” ’97 debut single.
