Jimmy Cliff — Reggae Rotterdam Festival, 2018

Filmed live concert by Jamaican legend Jimmy Cliff at the Reggae Rotterdam Festival in 2018 — presented as his last appearance in the Netherlands. A global pioneer of reggae, an actor and singer revealed by the cult film The Harder They Come, Cliff carried Jamaican music far beyond his native island, alongside Bob Marley. This full concert unfolds a repertoire shaped over more than half a century, between anthems of resilience and classics that became universal, such as Many Rivers to Cross, You Can Get It If You Really Want and The Harder They Come. Carried by a tight band, the set blends roots reggae, ska and ska-rocksteady in an infectious celebration of Jamaican culture. A precious capture of an artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this live concert documents the intact stage presence and voice of one of the last giants of reggae’s golden age, filmed on a European festival stage. An essential date for fans of roots reggae and Jamaican music.
