The late Bob Marley who was born Feb. 6, 1945, died May 11, 1981, at the age of 36 from cancer.
While he lived, he was considered as the most influential reggae star that used his music to fight against injustice, oppression and inequality in the society, regardless of race and religion.
The organiser of the show, King Wadada, said the musical festival was to uphold the reggae genre of music to reposition it and re-enact the musical philosophy of late Bob Marley.
Wadada said that he had collaborated with Dr Lucky Omogode, Chief Executive Officer of Ehi Resorts, to ensure the musical festival becomes a yearly event to honour the late reggae legend.
He said reggae music was a prophetic one which tries to evaluate societal happenings and proffer solutions to them.
