@@LittleLulubee I think barely anyone in modern music can compare to Bob Marley, but to be honest, I felt pleasantly surprised by this performance. Damian seems underrated.
@@LittleLulubee Bob Marley was a true Legend... We may never see another one... Damian, Ziggy and Stephen do an incredible job of creating their own style in sound while keeping their dad's spirit alive. Positive vibes should be sent!
Damian Marley took reggae music to another level of evolution. His lyrics hit deep within the soul, and the ambiance he creates is one of calm and peace.
Nobody can't tell me this isn't one of the greatest artists in the world today. The consistency, the power of his lyrics, his performances....real livubg legend
"Lets face it.. man Way too much time has been wasted.. Building military bases.. Fighting a war with no basis... And life is so sacred...." - Damian Marley
Yep, they been with him for a while, they're awesome. I saw him/them live about 3 times, his performance is the best. The flag man is missing b/c it's too small...but he's awesome too.
Ziggy - the happiness of Bob Stephen - the soul of Bob Rohan - the businessman of Bob Robbie - the athleticism of Bob Julian - the duality of Bob Damian - the rebelness of Bob Ky Mani - the street side of Bob
@@janzenweyi3536they are coming on strong inna dis generation. Their stories have not yet been fully written. But trust and believe that the covenant shall be fulfilled. Amen and Amen.
This type of music is powerful enough to change chemistry and the world. Woke up feeling alone and isolated, found and listened to this with 3 encores and now I feel connected and content. Songs of extreme wisdom. Thank you, I owe you for this. Peace of mind to all. One...!
ya. bob definatly struck me as a guy that would be just as happy kicking a soccer ball in trenchtown as a kingston mansion. genuine. blame it on the herb lol😊
As an Ethiopian, my heart melted when l hear him saying How much Ethiopia is special for him & other Rastafarians...Like they say The apple doesn't fall far from the TREE, Speak Life, Thank you for making the subtitle in Amharic, it meant a lot to us, You're appreciated Damian! ONE LOVE 🇪🇹
Me and my girlfriend opened a homestay here in Himachal Pradesh last year. The lockdown and the pandemic ate up our business. Through every dark nook and corner, Damian’s voice and message helped us heal and rise. Now, when things are changing, we can’t be more thankful to NPR and Damian Marley for the strength and the medicinal vibration. Never say die, Rastafari! Peace be to all 💚
Reggae is truly healing. I'm young and hearing that second song "follow" felt like someone finally gave me my youth back and said it was okay to be young, because lately I've been caught in a race for sure.
These tiny desk concerts are incredible because it exposes people to many different genres of music that they might not necescarily listen to otherwise. Ive never heard anything quite like this before but I instantly fell in love. Wonderful music!
Time passing me by so fast. Junior Gong and I same age. I remember when “Me Name Junior Gong” first came out. Gotta make better of this world while we still alive. Jah Bless!
I've had Marley tattoo on my arm since I was 21. I've always known he was a prophet and his music is a guide for those who can understand. I'm still learning until I die. One love
Thank you Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Roselyn Williams, Sherieta Lewis, Sean "Pow" Diedrick, Courtney "Bam" Diedrick, Shiah Coore, Elton "Elly B" Brown. This is wondefull
These 15 minutes are magic. I listen to this tiny concert at least once a day. It still feels like first time. I wish it would last an hour or even longer. Musical and lyrical outstanding. Thanks to Damian and his crew.
I like how he aknowleges issues while also understanding that things are better than they were. Too often people complain about disadvantage ungrateful of the progress we've made
The second track gave me tears man, as a 20 year old the world feels tough man and nothings seems clear and transparent…. It felt like getting advice from a vise uncle listening to it
I've been watching Damian Marley since "Halfway Tree" - and after these almost 20 years he stays so true. God bless. Little did we know, Rastafari is that serious. Keep bringing the best, NPR! Thumbs Up.
This production is superior on so many levels. A deep, winding song delivered, with such professional ease that Damian makes it seem simple. Memorizing such beautiful and profound lyrics and delivering it with such effortless ease is rare talent all by itself. Each musician is well skilled and works his instrument with serious but delicious precision and last, but by no means least, those soulful sisters providing harmonious background vocals is simply priceless.
Speak life makes me cry every time I hear it, our family was going through so much during the time this album came out. Thank you for your conscious lyrics. The Marleys music have lead the conscious people of the world, kept us inspired even when we want to give up on the human race.

His voice😍👌🏾🔥 sounds exactly the same as all his records no difference absolutely refreshing much love from South Africa🇿🇦. Thank you for the beautiful music. The band sounds super beautiful too. Love how everyone is rocking their own hair😍👌🏾 🌻🦋🌞🌈🦄💛💜💙💚
Jr Gong has always produced top notch, thought provoking, hearticle music for years. Truly one of the greats. Has definitely pushed not only his family name, but his genre as a whole on to the next level. I've been a fan since "Mr Marley " in the 90's.
Wow this is the most uplifting, touching,peaceful and best npr desk performance ever. Damian is one of the best artist of our generation,let's us give him his flower. Let us support him while his still alive he deserves it. I need him to come back again.
I was lucky enough to live in Jamaica for 5 years and Damian came to my parish and performed and that memory will forever live in my heart and brain! Peace and Love to everyone who reads this!!!!!!!!
I have been listening to this several times a week since I discovered it. I saw Damian Marley years ago in LA and I’m excited to see him again at Red Rocks this summer!
A victim of the shadow of his father... He really has made his own name though... Two different but great artists... Just insane that they're father and son.
Yo this man is a legend - when its said and done he's one of the greats. I think the thing is he maybe hasn't released things at the frequency of his dad. But his total body of work is magnificent, one of the best of all time across genres
Reading all these comments.. felt like I had to my add my own. Damian helping me through the hardest part of my life yet.. gotta play the cards you were dealt. gives me hope and reminds me to stay focused and grounded through it all. One love 🤙🏽

Could you imagine Bob’s face to hear what his son has done on this earth with songs like this?? Wow what a beautiful song.
This comment brought a tear to my eye. As a father to young children, I can only hope they do good when I'm gone.
He’d be undoubtedly proud his son inherited his voice 💯
It was written so Bob already knew in spirit even if he did not know in fact how his legacy and lineage would ultimately manifest in the world.

cause you havent listen to andersoon paak / the roots concerts yet

Man Damian killed it but let's give it up for his backup singers! Roselyn and Sherieta harmonies are a thing of beauty!

Jr Gong has really developed as an artist from Welcome to Jamrock.
He has always been a amazing artist....Jamrock put him on...but he had a lot of music before then just like this...organic
This voice... same as his father, even deeper. Awesome.
And frankly Welcome to Jamrock is such a dope song
Andrea Piatti I’m pretty sure Vincent was referring to the album, but it is a dope song.
He's always been a great vocalist,these tracks were released couple years ago
What a FANTASTIC start to this Monday. Stay alive KINGS AND QUEENS!
Yes! Amado!!
Those backing singers!!! Gorgeous.
Damian is the real deal, he has enormous talent, and so much soul. I adore him ❤️ much love!!!

Shout out to all the people! From a 🤷🏼♂️ dude from the north East who’s been listening for almost 20 years! ✌🏻
Jr Gong has always produced top notch, thought provoking, hearticle music for years. Truly one of the greats. Has definitely pushed not only his family name, but his genre as a whole on to the next level. I've been a fan since "Mr Marley " in the 90's.
Actually I think remember a tune about education to the tune of Informer before his first album came out. I think???
15 minutes of real music that can change the world if everybody listened.
If they REALLY listened👽👍
Word!
Can’t believe after being such a massive fan of bob marley I never knew Damon Marley was this good he’s just like his dad ❤
Wow this is the most uplifting, touching,peaceful and best npr desk performance ever. Damian is one of the best artist of our generation,let's us give him his flower. Let us support him while his still alive he deserves it. I need him to come back again.
Feel so violated when a commercial interrupts this master piece. Music with meaning 🎶

I was lucky enough to live in Jamaica for 5 years and Damian came to my parish and performed and that memory will forever live in my heart and brain! Peace and Love to everyone who reads this!!!!!!!!
Back up singers not only sound great but they are gorgeous
I have been listening to this several times a week since I discovered it. I saw Damian Marley years ago in LA and I’m excited to see him again at Red Rocks this summer!
Damien is the most underappreciated artist of our generation
A victim of the shadow of his father... He really has made his own name though... Two different but great artists... Just insane that they're father and son.
Always judged by his father's standards... unfair
Says who
Sadly, happens to many who especially when you speak truth!
Yo this man is a legend - when its said and done he's one of the greats. I think the thing is he maybe hasn't released things at the frequency of his dad. But his total body of work is magnificent, one of the best of all time across genres
Reading all these comments.. felt like I had to my add my own. Damian helping me through the hardest part of my life yet.. gotta play the cards you were dealt. gives me hope and reminds me to stay focused and grounded through it all. One love 🤙🏽
gavinmcintyre1 hope life is going better for you, always persevere
This man is a lyrical genius! He just...flows!!!
