As Previously stated in the last post, Damian Marley continues today in his fathers footsteps spreading the message of the Rastifian movement offering support and comfort through his music.
One particular part of the first song that i find spiritually significant in my cultural context is :
"Searching for the light because you're living in the dark
You must realize that Jah was with you from the start
Glorify His works and please be upfull in your thoughts
Even though the ones who wish you well are few and far apart
People never thought that we would make it thru so far
Speak of love Jah children and be proud of who you are
Keep on concentrating on the brighter side of life
Don't let them get you down"
Here's two examples of his work, listen to the lyrics guys!
One other modern reggae artist that i personally like is Tanya Stephens. Her Song ‘Turn the other cheek’ like Damian Marley puts the traditional reggae concept of life’s ‘struggle’ in a modern context. Her music uses the traditional religious phrase of ‘Turn the other cheek’ to demonstarate how it isn’t easy to do, especially when life is hard. ~ One Love x
