Vinyl Record Bob Marley & The Wailers – Easy Skanking In Boston '78 [2LP]

Bob Marley is a reggae prophet, spiritual voice of the oppressed and a national hero of Jamaica. His work is a profound tale of the struggle for dignity, faith, freedom, and hope. After his death in 1981, the world lost not just an artist, but a thought leader who was able to transform the pain of the people into inspirational music. The album Confrontation, released posthumously in 1983, was the last studio testament to Marley's talent. It contains previously unreleased tracks, demos and singles, complemented by new vocal performances by the I-Threes. The symbolic atmosphere of the album adds to its power, from the struggle-filled lyrics to the cover, which depicts Marley as St. George conquering the dragon, Babylon.

The Wailers, the band that accompanied Bob Marley during the main stage of his career, became an integral part of his legend. Founded in 1963, they have become a true voice of indigenous Jamaican culture. In Confrontation, they not only preserved the original sound of the songs, but also supplemented them with live energy, which makes this album complete, despite the fact that it was assembled after the death of the frontman. Complex rhythmic parts, spiritual harmonies, inherent in the style of the best Wailers' releases, create an organic musical fabric of the album.

“Easy Skanking in Boston '78” is a live album that captures the energy of Bob Marley and The Wailers' performance at the Boston Music Hall on June 8, 1978. The tour, which included this concert, was dedicated to the band's tenth studio album “Kaya”. It was released only in 2015, on the occasion of Marley's 70th birthday, and became a tribute to the great musician. The album includes iconic compositions that perfectly convey the spirit of the era and the artist's lively charisma. From powerful protest anthems to laid-back reggae grooves, this recording is a musical testament to how Bob Marley lit up stages and hearts.
