Love is my Religion

Neli, my friend, wants to go to Hawaii. Ziggy Marley went first and made a music for the day she decides to give up everything and buy a surfboard. The eldest son of Bob Marley released his second album in 2006 and since then se has became a proud landamrk of his roots.

Born in Trench Town, Jamaica, Ziggy used to follow his father to the studios. In the middle of 80's he started "The Melody Makers" with his brothers and sister and they sang reggae for fourteen years. This period of his career taught him about friendship and the path to a wider world.

"I don't condemn, I don't convert" is sang in the track that gives it's name to the album and a taste of Rastafari philosophy. Later on, another hue of Ziggy emerges. Now is the time to remeber politics and the lost face of Africa. The past slavery of Sudan, Rwanda and Sierra Leone and other recent crises move through your ears and make you think that another world is still possible.

Emancipate this same world that had his balck brothers sold and now is struggling in the fight against HIV- AIDS is another of Ziggy's mission. Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightement (U.R.G.E.) is a philanthropic organization that spreads awareness about the diease among young people in Jamaica and another countries.

Ziggy Marley and his album "Love is my religion" released independently was awarded with a Grammy. But more than prizes, this work can inspire another way to see the world, the new face of Reggae or just a life trip to Hawaii. For sure that it will be in my friend's IPOD.
