Born in the village of Nine Miles in the Parish of St.Ann, Jamaica, Robert Nesta Marley learned his first songs in the busy marketplace of Kingston. Music filled his head and his heart, and Ciddy's boy Nesta knew he would grow up to be a singer. Years later, Bob Marley gave voice to a growing revolutionary spirit in songs whose stirring rhythms and healing power dissolved boundaries of age, race, culture and religious belief. Written for children, this text celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over violence, poverty and prejudice.
