Description

Description: This presentation looks at the racial politics of Bob Marley in terms of his music and activism. Marley’s song ‘One Love’ is heavily promoted by the Eurasianstream media industry and, consequently, it is often a focal point in common discourse on Bob Marley. The commercialization of ‘One Love’ is thought by many in Pan-Afrikan social circles to be a de-radicalization misrepresentation of Marley’s “radical” Pan-Afrikan music. Considering the fact Marley can be “co-opted” suggests that he was never a Pan-Afrikanist, in the Garveyite sense, and, in fact, facilitated ideological confusion.

Presenter: Okunini Talawa Yawo Adodo

  1. Niara –

    I appreciated the perspectives provided by Okunini Talawa in this presentation. I loved the four categories he used to measure songs by and it motivated me to have more intention behind the music I listen to in that it has to provide Black positive messaging.

  2. Bakari –

    BlackTastic presentation – brought up a lot of different thoughts regarding how we view what is vulgar, and the neccesity to create the world that our music can reflect.
