A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

This Song is Dope: Bob Marley and the Wailers with "Kaya"
Today's random song is by Bob Marley and the Wailers. A reggae and ska band formed by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in 1963, many of the band's early songs were recorded with the aid of Lee "Scratch" Perry and his studio band The Upsetters. The Wailers were known for recording some of the most notable reggae songs in history. Tosh and Wailer left the band in 1974, leading to a revamped Wailers lineup. Marley died in 1981 of malignant melanoma, and Tosh was killed in a gang holdup at his home in 1987. You can find this song, Kaya, on Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1978 album of the same name.
