GET UP STAND UP by VARIOUS

LABEL: LOOP

Bob Marley’s influence on NZ cannot be underestimated. His one and only New Zealand concert, at Auckland’s Western Springs in April 1979, left an indelible mark on a country still striving to define its cultural identity. With the Wailers pounding out the riddims and the I-Threes in perfect harmony, Marley reached out to more than 30,000 fans of every race, creed and colour. Bob inspired a feeling of hope in New Zealand that still resonates to this day. 

We received confirmation for this project from the Bob Marley Estate on Friday the 1st of August and by the following Wednesday, Jamaican Independence Day, we had 22 amazing TOPLINE NZ artists collaborating on this production.
