Ziggy Marley isn’t only the son of the legendary Bob Marley, but over his 3 decade music career he has established himself as an influential socially conscious reggae artist, both as a solo artist and with the Melody Makers.
“Rebellion Rises” is the title track off of his 2018 solo album. The entire album has a timeless vibe and follows the reggae tradition of shedding a spotlight on social injustices.
The lyrics make it clear that the rebellion that Marley endorses is a resolute call “To reject the principles of hate/ And rebel against those doctrines/ And the violence that they create.”
The tune is proof that songs of resistance can possess a resolute exuberance. Ziggy is a vital voice of love and positivity that the world needs more than ever.
