The fire of Bob Marley's music raged on at Jamaica's Oracabessa Bay on December 4, as a diverse group of artists took to the stage to offer a musical salute to the legendary songwriter and reggae king.
Presented by Turner Network Television, the concert, billed as "One Love: The Bob Marley All-Star Tribute," featured several members of the late singer's family, including Ziggy Marley and his group, The Melody Makers. Other Marleys in attendance included Damian, Julian, Kymani, and Stephen, who served as the event's musical coordinator.
