Description
I have taken this photograph of Ziggy Marley performing at the Cuthbert Amphitheater on June 26, 2019.
We, Oregonian music fans, were extremely lucky to see two incredibly talented musicians Ziggy Marley and Michael Franti, performing on a same stage, on a same day at the Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene, Oregon,
during their combined tours performance: “Rebellion Rises” by Ziggy Marley” and “Stay Human” by Michael Franti & Spearhead”.
It was fantastic, greatly enjoyable show taken place in a beautiful concert venue offering opportunity to experience live music outdoor during spectacular Oregon summers.
Ziggy Marley started up the event brilliantly, and in a following one and half hours continued to stir and energize all of us-crowd of his devoted fans- by performing songs from his recently released seventh solo studio album “Rebellion Rises”, as well as fantastic, cult reggae classic so loved by all hippies-hipsters here in Oregon. It was a great show!
The “Rebellion Rises” album was written, recorded and produced by Ziggy Marley in 2018.
It received rave reviews upon release. Cryptic Rock gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, stating "Politically and socially relevant, Rebellion Rises is a war of music, creating peace with a purpose.". Island Stage called the album "a 10-track masterpiece that continues his father’s tradition of promoting emancipation from mental slavery through education, social activism, and healthy living." Reggaeville said "Rebellion Rises is not an angry record. It is not a bitter record. But, it is not a record of hope, either. The time of hoping for change is a notion Marley considers past due. This is a record of action, and for Ziggy Marley, the time for action is now."
David Nesta "Ziggy" Marley is a Jamaican musician and leader of the band Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, and the son of reggae icon Bob Marley and Rita Marley.
David went on to become known as "Ziggy", a nickname given to him by his father Bob Marley, meaning ‘little spliff’. But Ziggy stated the following to Melody Maker magazine in 1988: "Me name David but me big Bowie fan. So at the time of the 'Ziggy Stardust' album, me call meself Ziggy and now everyone do."
