Why this recording

Broadcast by WDR, then reposted by RootsRockReggae.tv three weeks after the 1 July 2017 festival date, the video shows a set built on family and collaborations. Damian Marley opens with “Make It Bun Dem”, recorded with Skrillex, and slips in three Bob Marley & The Wailers covers (“War”, “No More Trouble”, “Is This Love”) plus his brother Stephen's “The Mission”. Three songs made with Nas, including “Patience”, lead into a finale of “Road to Zion” and “Welcome to Jamrock”.

Full concert by Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley filmed at the Summerjam festival in Cologne in 2017, captured by German broadcaster WDR. The youngest son of Bob Marley and a star of contemporary reggae, the Jamaican artist delivers an incandescent live full concert, driven by his rapid flow, charismatic presence and a powerful band. The set blends his own classics (Welcome to Jamrock, Road to Zion, It Was Written) with a vibrant tribute to his family’s legacy, moving between roots reggae, dancehall and hip-hop. Before one of Europe’s largest reggae audiences, Damian Marley strings songs together with infectious energy. This festival capture conveys the fervour of an open-air concert and the connection between the artist and a crowd in full communion. An essential live concert for fans of reggae and dancehall, testifying to the vitality of the new Marley generation and the stage power of one of the most respected reggae artists of his era, captured in Germany in 2017. A high-energy full concert.
