Rebel Music

Rebel Music is the new release Bob Marley DVD documentary. Following on from the last post about Bob Marley Music Omitted from No Woman No Cry Documentary, I'm going to provide a short review of the documentary newly released on DVD of the reggae legend's music and life. This is the documentary called Rebel Music.

The name Bob Marley is synonymous with popular reggae music. What is maybe not so well known is that in his own mind and also in the hearts and minds of the many people who knew him well, Marley was much more than a just a musician.

The documentary Rebel Music has been put together and tells the fascinating and often heart wrenching story of the legend himself. The reggae superstar, the musician that created that legend, the poet within and the indelible prophet.

Prior to his early death at the young age of only 36, the star had created an incredibly stunning body of musical work. He was well known worldwide as the popular and at times outspoken face and voice of reggae music.

Yet few of the adoring fans who heard and loved his incredible music realized the great depth and range of the man's own political, philosophical and religious beliefs. Here is a documentary which tells the reggae star's own story through his very own words and music.

It includes interviews with the people who knew him best. This naturally includes his wife, Rita as well as fellow reggae music pioneer Lee 'Scratch' Perry.

From his impoverished and poor roots all the way through his involvement in Rastafarianism to his eventual musical evolution, the documentary comprehensively puts all the pieces of the jigsaw together of the life of this highly astute and charming genius.

If you think you can sing like a pro, you might want to check your vocal capabilities by first recording yourself then playing it back to see how you sound. If you think you show some promise, then it might be wise to get some good online singing lessons first and then take it from there.

Becoming a performing musician is no easy thing to do no matter how easy the starts make it look. They either have tons of natural talent or when they don't they make it by getting the best coaching they can get!
