We broke off from boarding school some 270 km south of the capital Harare, where the Independence ceremony was to be held at the iconic Rufaro stadium. I travelled back home to Bulawayo to enjoy the holiday declared to mark the historic occasion. Public buses were free during that time. But it was crazy, passing convoy upon convoy headed for the capital. I got home to catch the live broadcast of the ceremony that started in the afternoon right up to midnight 17th April when the then Prince Charles handed over the reins of power to Robert Gabriel Mugabe. I remember the feeling, we wept openly. Then Bob Marley and Wailers took over. It was magical, and that performance left an indelible mark. I already knew the lyrics of most of the songs, anthems of the liberation struggle and the anthem Zimbabwe, released in 1978 being the icing that topped what was a historical and remarkable night. Who better to usher in a new dawn than Bob Nesta Marley and the Wailers. This video brought it all back.
I was only 7 months old but the echo resounded always through my youth until now at 44, this sound moves, takes on a journey deep within. Love and Peace, from Southern Africa.
I was 7 at this moment in time but it's only now that I realise the magnitude of his presence to celebrate our Independence. Let's always remember to guard our freedom . RIP Bob, you're a legend.
The first time we saw a real world class sound system in Rhodesia/then although the country was very rich. Music could be heard clearly from 20 miles, the thumbing bass of and drums of the Barrington brothers ❤
Robert Nesta Marley is my first teacher of history, truth, peace and unity! Bob resides in my heart with Jesus Christ, bhudda, ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara and all freedom fighters against oppression and colonialism! ONE LOVE TO ALL HUMANITY ❤
He had cancer before way before 1980-81, he got cancer initially in 77.. He was sick way before then but he kept on playing concerts till he couldn’t anymore.. You’ll never see another (Prophet) like musician like that again, that loves God and is focused on their purpose.. (and especially The Wailers too, without the Barrett Brother’s and their groove it wouldn’t be complete.. It’s hard to tour the world like that (especially) being so known but too a lot of bands don’t work out because they have problems in the mists of things and can’t handle it anymore)..
In 1977, Doctors discovered Marley had acral lentiginous melanoma, a form of skin cancer, that started under his big toenail. The first doctor that he consulted thought that the lesion on his toe was a soccer injury. After it began to look worse, Marley consulted another doctor who biopsied the spot and discovered that it was melanoma. I am a 69 years old Jamaican living in Fl. with stage 4 Stomach Cancer and am amazed at his energy just a year before he died. When he died he was just 82 lbs. So he must have lost more weight. I went from 185 to 102 at my lowest. Now I am regaining and up to 136 and hoping I gain no more.
Genial Bob Marley...Bellas melodías, ritmos afro-caribeños, y mensajes místicos... Una figura única y creador de una nueva corriente musical : el reggae 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Why has this iconic and historic concert video hasn’t been restored??!!🤔
why ?
well said good question @emmanuelsantana3369
detail, this concert is not complete, there is a longer version, in which he sings Africa Unite.
@@AdnanfingerboardWhats
It was filmed by colonisers ... so you know you know
All he wanted in his life was to make it here 😎
What made this even more special was that he wasn't composated for the show. He paid his own expenses and they performed for free. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤝🏾
Robert Nesta Marley is my first teacher of history, truth, peace and unity! Bob resides in my heart with Jesus Christ, bhudda, ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara and all freedom fighters against oppression and colonialism! ONE LOVE TO ALL HUMANITY ❤
He was directly responsible for at least 124 killings,” Maria Werlau, author of the book “Che Guevara’s Forgotten Victims,”
СССР на всегда!!!

HE LOOK FULLY OK HERE IN 1980 AND IN 1981 HIM JUST GET CANCER AND DIE SO FAST LIKE DAT? SOMETHING IS NOT ADDING UP SMH RIP BOB

A true man. That's the story they tell us, like all the other tales.
Eu também penso que ele não morreu de câncer, isso foi a maior mentira do mundo, Marley foi assassinado pela CIA.
He had cancer like Malcom Martin Medgar Jimi JFK RFK etc etc...
In 1977, Doctors discovered Marley had acral lentiginous melanoma, a form of skin cancer, that started under his big toenail. The first doctor that he consulted thought that the lesion on his toe was a soccer injury. After it began to look worse, Marley consulted another doctor who biopsied the spot and discovered that it was melanoma.

Natural voice like studio
I am of the belief that Bob Marley was killed and always felt this way. Cancer can be injected in a person. It's called biological warfare. He was a threat because wat he stood for and hus music was revolutionary. No one makes Regee music like him since he was eliminated. His music always had a revolutionary edge. Today's Regee is watered down and does not inspire our souls to revolutionary action. Remember whst Malcolm X said about snd how he defined a real revolution.
I have to say I agree with ya brother! If I remember he was gifted a pair of shoes......ended up with some kind foot cancer? Kind of weird and the c.i.a. was probably behind it. little do they know, they have not stopped nothing!!
😅
I read an article that someone gave him a corrupted pair of trainers (with a sharp nail poisoned with cancer inside of it).
He was Murked
The same with John Lennon. Kenedy The Sistem is against Pace and no violence. 😊❤
Jimi Malcolm Martin Medgar etc...
Allah yarhmou wildha ❤
