Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani, and Damian Marley toured together to bring their father Bob Marley's music to the world
it from a mile away, the beam of positive energy emanating from Forest Hills Stadium in Queens on this particular Sunday evening in September. Inside the 13,000-capacity tennis stadium, five of, which features the five Marley brothers performing on tour together for the first time in more than two decades, has the feeling of a religious gathering.
Ziggy, 55, agrees. “The thing is that it was not some great marketing strategy, or some kind of long term goal,” he says over the phone towards the end of the tour. “We cannot control what the universe is trying to tell us. So the timing, everything, it worked out perfectly.” The crowd in Queens is in complete rapture during the Marley brothers’ performance. The staff, too. Behind barricades, just in front of the stage, security guards mouth along to the lyrics of “Get Up, Stand Up.
For this reason, Stephen says the process of putting together a setlist for this tour was easy. “It’s like a Bible to us. It’s very dear to us,” he says. “After all these years, we kind of have a feel for what each one of us likes to sing and the songs that would be good to sing together and just making a show of it. That’s what we do. So it’s not like something new or hard. Putting this together was a collective effort.
