Robert Nesta Marley, who is better known as Bob Marley has been regarded as a Rastafarian prophet at his native land of Jamaica. He has entered the world music scene for a long presence, traced even after his death. Bob Marley wass famous of popularizing the reggae genre outside of Jamaica. Presently, his relative successors resume Bob Marley’s art activity. Bob Marley is father to 12 children and they all follow the path of their parent.
The four eldest children Ziggy, Sharon, Cedella and Stephen recorded their first single "Children Playing in the Streets" in the early childhood. The song was written by Bob Marley for the Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers band, comprising his four children. They toured and played joint gigs with Bob Marley, who strived to unite children, and thus organized them into a band.
In 1985 the Ziggy Marley and Melody Makers released their first album "Play the Game Right", which was nominated for a Grammy in the late 1985. Another CD album "Conscious Party" was released in 1988 and immediately became the platinum one. It was critically and popularly successful and included a song, later on nominated for the Grammy as the Best Reggae Recording.
The band is now experiencing an art lull. All the members are mainly engaged in promoting their solo carriers. Stephen Marley also came up with an idea to cooperate with his brothers Rohan, Julian and Damian to launch the project "Ghetto Youths International", created to promote young talented musicians of Jamaica.
The youngest son of Bob Marley a Grammy-winning reggae artist Damian is now facing his golden age. As of 2006 he released three albums. The "Welcome to JamRock" was nominated for as many as four international awards and became the 2002 recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. Damien has been performing since he was 13, unlike his siblings his musical speciality is "DJing", the Jamaican style of "rapping", which some consider a predecessor of modern hip-hop.
