Bob Marley died ten years ago. Today he is remembered by millions all over the world, not only for his music, but also for his work for peace.

Marley was the first superstar from the Third World. He was born in 1945 in the north of Jamaica. He was brought up by his mother. Later they lived in a poor district of Kingston, the capital of Jamaica.

His professional career began in 1962. He and his group, at first called the Wailing Wailers, soon became a sensation in Jamaica. But then Marley’s life was to be changed.

In the early 60’s the Rastafarian movement (движение рестафарианцев) began in Jamaica. The Rastafarians believed that all black people would return to their homeland of Africa. Marley was becoming more and more interested in this religion. His music reflected this from 1967.

At the start of the 70’s, the Wailers were still unknown internationally. But in 1971, during their visit to Britain, they signed a contract in London. They were given much money and they could use the best recording equipment. By 1975 they became famous. There was nothing else like their music in Britain. When he Wailers returned in November they were met as superstars.

Bob Marley now was very famous among the youth of Jamaica. Many young people followed his Rastafarian idea. But there were political tragedies at that time in Jamaica. In the end of 1976, Bob Marley wanted to give a free (without payment) concert to support peace. But the situation in the country was becoming worse because the Government organized elections.

On the night before the concert, some people broke into Marley’s house and shot at him. But the next day, he stood on the stage and he sang some songs.

In 1978 Marley played another big peace concert in Jamaica, and was given the Third World Peace Medal by the United Nations. The Wailers were becoming very successful. The future looked bright for Bob Marley. But in winter, during his tour in America, doctors diagnosed cancer. For eight moths Bob Marley fought it. He died in hospital in May, 1981. But people remember him and his music.
