Damian Marley at Smile Jamaica 2008

Here is a selection of mp3 downloads available from Amazon featuring Damian Marley. He has become one of my favorite musicians. I really like almost all of his work and I think he’s a very talented person. I had the pleasure of meeting him and brother Stephen backstage at the Smile Jamaica / Africa Unite show in Oracabessa Jamaica recently and it was an awesome experience. The whole show was cool and I met many others including K’naan and Swiss Chris.

I submitted this photo as seen above to his Wikipedia page from the same concert. The show was amazing and I really enjoyed myself. I got some better shots but made an ass of myself in the process of taking them. It’s a long story but I got me a handshake and short conversation with Ziggy and Stephen and was able to express my appreciation for the work they have done in following their footsteps. I fell in love with Bob Marley and his music the first time I heard it and about 15 years later I’m in Jamaica listening to his sons carry on the family legacy.

Damian is the favored brother amongst most Jamaican youth. His music is harder and more ghetto than any of the other brothers and he is no doubt the King of Kingston. Just about everywhere on the island that I have been I can hear his music or some mix of it blaring out of some giant speakers. The Marley legacy lives on in his children and Damian took more of his fathers more militant side. His music sounds more inspired by Peter Tosh than Bob Marley.
