Fondatrice de genres tels que le ska, le reggae et le dancehall, la Jamaïque a exercé une influence internationale sur la musique. Pionnier de la musique reggae, Bob Marley est né et a grandi en Jamaïque et est considéré comme un symbole mondial de la culture et de l'identité de l'île. Défenseur de l'amour unique, Marley a insufflé la spiritualité du rastafarisme et des commentaires sociaux à travers une musique rythmée et décalée comme outil de changement. Visitez la ville natale de Bob Marley et sa maison d'enfance à Nine Mile pour découvrir l'héritage de l'un des musiciens et auteurs-compositeurs les plus vendus au monde.
