Episode three of Bob Marley’s esteemed Legacy mini-documentary series was revealed today. Righteousness offers a unique glimpse and insight into Jamaican culture and delves into the roots and relationships between spirituality, religion, nature and Rastafarianism. Exploring the impact Bob had on Jamaican culture, while celebrating the influences and inspirations behind his message and music, Righteousness is available on Bob Marley’s Official YouTube Channel.
Bob Marley’s ability to connect us all in his message of hope, human strength, solidarity and endurance, remains just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. In continuing to celebrate his ability to connect and lift us all, a new animated, official music video for Bob Marley & The Wailer’s classic ‘Three Little Birds’ (from 1977’s Exodus, which Time magazine declared The Best Album Of The 20th Century in 1999,) has been revealed.
Created by director Morgan Powell, the playful visual is a clever take on a classic children’s cartoon and roleplay. Powell revealed, “I figured it would be interesting to pick two well-known enemies and flip their relationship on its head. There are lots of enemies in the world and we are in testing times, even more now, and I wanted to pose the question of what happens if you push through fear or anxiety? What’s on the other side of that? With the help of the song I managed to push through and I wanted to give the video my best shot of portraying that.” Cedella Marley shares, “This song has helped provide hope and light for so many over the years, including me, and I hope it does the same for people now, especially with all that is going on in the world.”
In this digital era, Bob Marley remains one of the most followed posthumous artists on social media, and MARLEY75 will serve to bring his music and message to the digital foreground, reaching new audiences and perspectives with innovative content and groundbreaking technology.
