Bob Marley has said a lot in his short lifetime, but one quote still remains just as powerful as the day he said it: “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.”
It is one of those powerful lines that informs not just our vision but also one that guides our steps in our world.
While Bob Marley only got to live among us for 36 years, his legacy in music, as well as his philosophy of living with one another, still resonates today.
On Saturday night, in a neighborhood that has for me espoused so many of the ventures that Marley stood for, we will welcome a birthday bash celebrating his life.
This special event is produced by the Natural Hair GR and is a part of their Natural Night Out annual celebration of Bob Marley’s birthday. Produced by Ambassador David’s Productions’, this entire night of music is a tribute to the Jamaican king of reggae, with our region’s performers paying their respect in song to his legacy.
Joining others on stage include Chicago's Indika wig DJ Assane, Buttafly Ugochi, and DJ Assange. DJ Assange is the winner of the Global African Music Award Best African Female Entertainer of 2013 and Best African Pop Artist for her hit single, "Don't Mind Them.”
Admission: $9. This birthday bash is a 21+ only event.
