Marley will headline the inaugural, three-day festival in Long Beach with his brothers. He spoke to The Times about preserving his father’s message through music.
More than 40 years after Bob Marley’s death, it’s become easy to associate his music and likeness with college dorm rooms, brownies and billowing smoke. But for his son Stephen “Ragga” Marley, reggae music will always be about survival amid adversity — precisely what the last two pandemic years have been. That hopeful message is what he and his brothers — Ziggy, Damian, Julian and Ky-Mani — are bringing to their family performance this Saturday at the inauguralTaking place Feb.
I usually did a festival before this pandemic — Kaya Fest, that’s my festival. I curate that festival. And every year, the brothers are on that festival. We would celebrate our father as well as play some of our own music in our set. So we’re quite used to playing together. But we’ve had a little moment [since] playing those festivals — three years. In this particular show, though, it’s really a tribute to our father. So we’ll be doing his songs, mostly. Celebrating his life.
