Ami Faku Answers The Call To Integrate The Continent As The Only South African Singer/Songwriter To Feature In Bob Marley’s Posthumous Album ‘Africa Unite’
Written by Libimbi zane on August 7, 2023

The “Redemption Song” by Bob Marley is a key piece of music history. The song, which serves as the twelfth album’s closing tune, “Uprising,” was composed by Bob Marley as he was contemplating death after receiving a cancer diagnosis. Marley’s vocals and acoustic guitar are featured on the moving solo acoustic song, which is based on a speech by the Pan-Africanist orator Marcus Garvey called “The Power of the Pen.” Work that has been completed. The deep message of the song exhorts listeners to “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds,” a message that was influenced by Marcus Garvey’s appeal for mental empowerment and emancipation. The song “Redemption Song” has gained a reputation as one of Bob Marley’s best works throughout time, connecting with listeners all over the world and earning a spot on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” Every so often, a song comes out that perfectly captures the signs of the times. Bob Marley’s Redemption Song is more relevant than ever right now. The Marley Family chose Ami Faku, who excels on this classic song.Africa Unite is OUT NOW‼️
