Bob Marley & The WailersSurvival

Marley answers anyone who called Kaya too soft with the toughest groove of his career, the one-drop drums hitting harder and the horns sharpened to a point. 'Zimbabwe' marches with militant pride, so much so the new nation flew him in to play its 1980 independence celebration. 'Africa Unite' rings out as a Pan-African rallying cry, and 'Ambush in the Night' recounts the 1976 attempt on his life over a coiled, simmering riddim. Fifty-three African flags on the cover, fire in every track. Reggae with its fist raised.
