Who?

Bob Marley breached the cultural barriers that separate race and class and united them under One Love: Music. Close your eyes and listen to a Bob Marley song you’re transported to a peaceful beach where problems drift away on gentle ocean breezes...opening your eyes again you find a friend's extended hand holding a freshly lit joint. Widely hailed as a legend and for introducing the world to both Reggae music and the Rastafari religion, Marley's timeless melodies and protest songs alike form the soundtrack of a world of love and tolerance.

Why?

Although Bob Marley has passed, many can still feel him holding our hands and leading us towards a world of harmony. A face and a voice that’s instantly recognisable, Bob began his career in the 60s as the title part of Bob Marley and the Wailers but transcended his home nation of Jamaica when he went to the US, then the UK and then began selling out arenas. Promoting a message of unity and love with a unique songwriting style that borrowed from Rocksteady and Ska, Bob Marley still touches hearts worldwide to this day

Why we love them...

“Money can’t buy life.” Those were Bob Marley’s last words. Something to live by. Using art to unite all peoples was the goal of Bob Marley, and he used his music as a platform to protest the treatment and racism he faced his whole life. People around the world identify with his message of love and peace, as well as his fervent advocation for marijuana legalisation. At BRIX, we honour Marley's legacy by aspiring to bring travellers from around the world together, to see our differences as assets, not liabilities, and to celebrate shared values and ideals.
