Today Is Marley Day by Nobody: 11:51am On May 11, 2017 |
Born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6, 1945 to Cedella
Marley when she was just 18. He was spent his earlylife in
rural community of Nine Miles, nestled in the mountainous
terrain of the parish of St. Ann. Residents of Nine Miles have
preserved many customs derived from their African ancestry
especially the art of storytelling as a means of sharing the
past and time-tested traditions that are oftentimes overlooked
in official historical sources.
The proverbs, fables and various chores associated with rural
life that were inherent to Bob’s childhood would provide a
deeper cultural context and an aura of mysticism to his adult
songwriting.
Norval and Cedella married in 1945 but Captain Marley’s
family strongly disapproved of their union; although the elder
Marley provided financial support, the last time Bob Marley
saw his father was when he was five years old; at that time,
Norval took his son to Kingston to live with his nephew, a
businessman, and to attend school. Eighteen months later
Cedella learned that Bob wasn’t going to school and was living
with an elderly couple. Alarmed, she went to Kingston, found
Bob and brought him home to Nine Miles. Show some love by quoting your favourite quote of his |
