Portrait of an icon: Bob Marley [1945-1981]
Hi today, I have the pleasure and the honor to draw you the portrait of an idol of my adolescence: Bob Marley.
Born February 6, 1945 in Jamaica and died May 11, 1981 in the United States this interplanetary artist is undoubtedly the person who allowed the music #reggae and thus the Rastafarian movement and the Jamaican culture to spread.
Although still young (36 years old) he sold more than 200 million records.
Born in a modest family Robert Nesta Marley stops school at the age of 14, he starts very quickly to the music and after a ska period and another rocksteady he starts reggae in 1969 with the success he knows him.
In a very short time his music and his payroll messages spread throughout the world.
He will be the father of a large family (6 children).
He died of cancer in 1981.
Thanks to him for his universal music.
Nice portrait, and fine post.
Marley was a true artist, whose music broke boundaries and showed us that we are all united. And that we can all sing together, in joy and in unison.
His music was loved and greatly appreciated while he was here on earth, and the appreciation of his masterpieces will definitely continue to grow.
