Marijuana? Rasta colors? Reggae? Jamaica?
This man did soooo much more!! Too know Mr. Robert Nesta (Bob) you must understand his struggle and his beliefs he stood strongly behind. I found these facts extremely interesting. Hope you find them the same 😁
. Bob’s father was a 50-year-old white British naval captain named Norval Sinclair Marley. Bob’s mom, a black country village girl named Cedella, was 19 when, in the small Jamaican village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Bob was born at 2:30 in the morning on Feb. 6, 1945. Imagine how happy Cedella’s father was to discover his daughter had been sleeping with an old white man named Norval. Imagine how thrilled Norval’s family of racist colonialists was to learn the same thing.
Yes, Bob Marley was bi-racial !!
Where was Bob Marley born?
Bob was born on February 6th, 1945 in the small village of Nine Miles in Saint Ann, Jamaica.
As a little kid, Bob had a knack for deeply spooking people by successfully predicting their futures by reading their palms. At seven, having just returned to his rural village after a year spent living in the ghettos of Kingston (Jamaica’s capital), he declared that from then on he would cease to read palms. His new destiny, he said, was to become a singer. For the rest of his life, whenever someone who knew him back when asked him to read their palms, he resolutely refused
Due to his light skin-color, among other factors, Marley was drawn into many fights while living in the Kingston ghetto. Far from the peace-loving pacifist of the Bob Marley legend, the actual Bob Marley never backed down from a fight and was known as a scrapper. Later he would found a record label in Jamaica using the nickname given to him in his fighting days: Tuff Gong.
