La locura del ska se extendió a Londres a finales de los años 50 y principios de los 60. Esta música probablemente hubiera sido una mera curiosidad si no fuera por los esfuerzos de un anglo-jamaicano blanco de linaje aristocrático llamado Chris Blackwell. Aunque era para él más un pasatiempo que otra cosa, había establecido una red de distribución a pequeña escala para los registros étnicos,…

25-26.2.2016   Bob Marley Special Event on joint Radio

Bob Marley would have turned 70 in 2015, so the reggae singer’s family is marking the milestone with a yearlong commemoration of his music and legacy. For the first time, the Marleys are granting Universal Music Group access to its extensive and private vaults of previously unreleased music to make for stocked reissues, video releases and new live albums.

Bob Marley: The Stories Behind 17 Rare and Unseen Images

First up on the calendar – and the perfect thing to watch after lighting up some Marley-branded marijuana – is Bob Marley and the Wailers’ Easy Skanking in Boston ‘78, a never-before-released live CD/DVD. Footage from this gig was filmed on a handheld camera by a fan that Marley gave permission to stand front-and-center. The release is due out on February 10th.

During their 1978 tour, in support of Kaya, Marley played a pair of gigs at the Boston Music Hall on June 8th. It’s unclear whether Easy Skanking was culled from the early or late show, but both gigs feature the same setlist, with early Wailers tracks mixed in with legendary cuts like “No Woman, No Cry,” “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Get Up, Stand Up.”

While the audio of the live album is complete, since only one camera filmed the action, the cinematographer was forced to change rolls during the performance. Those gaps on the visual side will be filled with new animated footage created and directed by S77 and Matt Reed, who have worked on music videos for artists like Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Cee Lo Green.

Universal intends to announce more new Marley collections and deluxe editions of some of his most enduring LPs, featuring unreleased bonus material, throughout 2015.
