Tribute to spirit of Bob Marley at The Boardwalk

Music lovers from all walks of life in the Metro are invited to join together and celebrate the spirit of multiculturalism and reconciliation at a four-band concert in an Africa Month celebration what Bob Marley stood for.

Organised by “One Blood Sound”, the concert will be held in The Boardwalk’s Vodacom Amphitheatre on Saturday, May 25. Starting at six, the concert features “Take Note”, “The Brothers”, “Ever High Dread (EHD)”, and “Skank & The Roots”.

“Take Note” is a six piece Jazz band formed by young musicians who wanted to revisit the recognisable trademark of Eastern Cape “township Jazz” while appealing to a youthful audience.

“The Brothers” hail from Port Elizabeth where they shake up a storm with their brand of reggae, funk and rock, infused with heady doses of improvisation - a unique genre they refer to as “Skafrican”.

“EHD” has been a journey of five musicians pulled together to create music to uplift the people.
“Skank & the Roots” is a Reggae Band from Uitenhage which was originally formed in the early 90’s.

“Africa Month is a celebration of the continent’s unity, commitment to peace, democracy and economic development, which are values at the heart of Bob Marley’s message,” says Nomakhomazi Dyosopu of One Blood Sound.

Each band will include well-loved Bob Marley numbers in their sets, which will include the music that they are best known for. “We selected the bands because they represent a cross-section of the people and music of Nelson Mandela Bay. The concert will appeal to all,” she says.

On 11 May 1981, the first international music star to hail from a Third World country, Mr Robert Nesta Marley better known as Bob Marley, passed away.

On Saturday, May 25 Port Elizabeth Bob Marley fans can enjoy a concert tribute to him from six in the evening till nine.
