family are inspired to spread the spirit and legacy of
Bob Marley, continuing to bring life to his Songs of
Freedom and to actively work towards a united Africa
in their lifetime. The Africa Unite events have begun
a global movement that creates awareness for vital
issues affecting Africa, as well as for realizing
important and meaningful change that will contribute

Marley seeks united Africa for Black History Month
Palm to release concert DVD Feb. 12
By Cindy Spielvogel -- Video Business, 11/29/2007
NOV. 29 |
Bob Marley had a vision for Africa to become a unified
entity. In the feature documentary Africa Unite, his
family, led by wife Rita, furthered that vision by
traveling to Ethiopia in 2005 for a landmark concert
performance. The concert served as the starting point
for annual Africa Unite events, the next of which will
be held in Jamaica during Black History Month this
February. Palm Pictures will release the Africa Unite
DVD on Feb. 12 (prebook Jan. 15; DVD $24.98), after
the film gets a theatrical release this winter.
Including rare footage of Marley, the film is part
concert tribute to the reggae icon, part Marley family
travelogue and part humanitarian documentary. It also
includes appearances by Danny Glover, who is a UNICEF
goodwill ambassador, and others committed to
encouraging peace, education and empowerment for the
youth of Africa.
One of them is Bob's son, Ziggy Marley, the most well
-known of the children who've followed in their
fathers reggae footsteps. He spoke with VB's Cindy
Spielvogel about Africa Unite and his dad.
VB: What is the idea behind the Africa Unite movement,
and why is the Africa Unite DVD a good release for
Black History Month?
Ziggy Marley: We believe that one of the greatest
things
that can be done in Africa is for Africa to unite. It
has been a dream of many of our forefathers and many
African leaders in the past just like the unity of the
U.S. and Europe. But for Africa, it is even more
important, because the resources in Africa, if put to
the right use, can benefit Africa. To do this in Black
History Month is a way to shed more light on the issue.
VB: When is a music DVD better than just music, and do
you enjoy DVDs yourself?
Marley: DVDs are another avenue to get a message across.
Sometimes hearing is not enough, and seeing might mean
more to some people, to connect on a visual level. I
am a collector; I watch a lot of movies on the bus on
tours. I have a Bob Dylan DVD and a few more. I like
Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof; it's old school, back
to the 70s. I'm a movie connoisseur. I'm trying to get
into writing a few scripts. It's another avenue to use
creativity. In school, English language and writing
were my favorite subjects. I'm a pretty good writer.
VB: Why do you think your father's music is still
popular today?
Marley: It's the substance. The artists that have
substance in their music the music that means more than
a fad, music that lasts longer than the time they made
it in are the people that last forever. It has no time
in mind, like some particular beat today. My father was
not like that. It was done on a different level, a more
spiritual level. It's music that will endure, that has
substance. That's the reason why he made it, and what
he was saying all still exists. It's deep; not shallow.
