Bob Marley Birthday Extravaganza
A celebration of Bob Marley and reggae music in general focused on a multimedia presentation by L.A.-based reggae archivist Roger Steffens and musical performance by "Roots Dig", a new local reggae-jazz group; there will also be Brazilian/Caribbean home cooking for sale. The event will be alcohol-free.
Bob Marley, besides being a major icon in music and activism, also has reached out to indigenous cultures around the world, including here in the American Southwest. Reggae music has been adopted by native groups around the world and especially the music and lyrics of Bob Marley have provided inspiration because of the universal messages of justice contained in them. Part of the event will certainly be about emphasizing this indigenous connection.
