From humble beginnings growing up in the impoverished island of Jamaica The Wailers arose to take reggae to the masses. Fronted by the legendary Bob Marley until his tragic death in 1981, The Wailers acted as reggae’s foremost practitioners and emissaries, embodying its spirit and spreading its gospel to all corners of the globe. Reggae's loping, hypnotic rhythms carried an unmistakable signature that rose to the fore of the music scene in the Seventies, largely through the recorded work of Marley and the Wailers on the Island and Tuff Gong labels. Such albums as Natty Dread and Rastaman Vibration endure as reggae milestones that gave a voice to the poor and disfranchised citizens of Jamaica and, by extension, the world. Slow, funky rhythms and soulful bass characterize the Wailers' sound post-Bob Marley. These reggae veterans make a rare can’t miss performance at Zydeco.
