Reggae King Bob Marley’s five sons, Julian, Stephen, Ziggy, Damian and Ky-Mani will perform on one stage for the first time in 20 years at the upcoming Kaya Fest.
The historic coming together of the Marley siblings was made possible by Stephen Marley who is producing the concert to be staged at Bayfront Park Amphitheatre, 301 Biscayne Blvd. in downtown Miami, on Saturday, April 22, 2017.
Between them the Marley brothers have won most of the Reggae Grammy awards and it is fitting that they should be performing at a concert which will be highlighting the virtues of cannabis, a plant revered by Rastafarians and made even more popular via a single penned and vocalized by their father, entitled Kaya.
There will be other Marleys on show in the form of Marley’s grandson, Skip Marley and Jo Merca Marley, grandchildren of the Reggae legend.
Kaya Fest will also feature special appearances by Ms. Lauryn Hill, Sean Paul, Hip-Hop legend Wyclef Jean, Reggae group Inner Circle and Shacia Payne.
The organizers of Kaya Fest will use the occasion to educate the public to the many uses of the cannabis plant as well as to inspire and encourage positive public awareness especially since more and more states are approving the use of medical marijuana, such as Florida where it just became legal this past year.
A Free Symposium titled “Education Before Recreation” will feature a panel of experts who are on the forefront of education and regulation in the state of Florida. The Symposium will be discussing the many uses of the Cannabis plant as well as the new Florida laws relating to it. It will be held on Friday, April 21st from Noon to 4PM at the Miami History Museum.
