The Original Wailers Live

“So many of Bob Marley’s songs are still relevant to what’s happening right now. They are of the times. Bob Marley was a prophet, and it’s a honor to be part of that”.
Aston Barret-The Wailers.

For millions of people around the world, Reggae Music is synonymous to “Bob Marley and the Wailers”. Without any doubt, their heartbeat rhythms inspired many of us and triggered exceptional emotions.

When Marley was still among us, the band had sold more than 250 million albums across the globe.

The world’s best known and longest touring Reggae band had also performed with international acts such as Sting, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, as well as reggae legends Peter Tosh and Burning Spear.

Today, led by old-school band anchor Aston “Family Man” Barrett, and Jamaica’s most exciting young singer Koolant, their music remains an evidence of the enduring popularity of the “one-drop” reggae sound.

The Wailers have completed innumerable tours over the years, playing to an estimated 24 million people. Next stop of the “REVOLUTION TOUR 2012”, Beirut, at the MusicHall, part of the LibanJazz series.
