IL FILM DI BOB MARLEY: RAS JULIO NELLA PRODUZIONE - INTERVISTA ESCLUSIVA
https://reggaerevolution.it/il-film-di-bob-marley-ras-julio-nella-produzione-intervista-esclusiva/
Intervista Integrale a Ras Julio: Consulente Rastafari del film di Bob Marley One Love e revisore dialoghi - Esclusiva by Reggae Revolution.it
Per l’uscita del prossimo film su Bob Marley : One Love, la Paramount aveva bisogno di ri-adattare dall’inglese in italiano i testi e i doppiaggi per l’edizione italiana, cercando di mantenere una coerenza con la figura mistica del profeta del Reggae e la filosofia Rastafari, il suo credo.
È bastata una breve ricerca per capire che la persona giusta era sicuramente Ras Julio, grande divulgatore della livity Rastafari, grande conoscitore dello scenario storico, di Bob e soprattutto del Patwa, la lingua giamaicana.

Martijn Huisman - The Reggae Nation - su Kickstarter
https://bit.ly/3aQ4zsy
Greetings! I'm Martijn Huisman, welcome to the Kickstarter for my new book The Reggae Nation: The Global Legacy of Bob Marley & The Wailers.
In the summer of 2011, I stumbled upon the YouTube music video ‘Redemption Song, Song Around The World’, which showed in a direct and pure way Bob Marley’s music being played around the globe. The video inspired me to start on a journey of discovery to explore the global legacy and impact of legendary reggae group Bob Marley and the Wailers. After 10 years and countless hours of research, writing, and editing, my book is finally finished and ready for publication. But to get 500 copies of the book printed, I need help. Your help.
Creating a book is expensive. Making an amazing, one-of-its-kind, visually rich and colourful book is very expensive. The Reggae Nation cannot come to life without the help and support of many people; people like you! How can you help to make this book happen? First and foremost, by pledging your support by ordering a copy of the book and any of the unique, Kickstarter-exclusive items on offer. But you can also help by spreading the word, both online and offline! Will you help to realise this passion project, 10 years in the making, to honour Bob Marley and the Wailers?
The Book: The Reggae Nation
From the early 1970s, Bob Marley and the Wailers toured the world to bring a prophetic musical message of rebellion, redemption, and Rastafari. With their reggae anthems, the Wailers painted the planet red, gold, and green, achieving fame and recognition unparalleled by any other reggae group. Since his untimely passing in 1981, Bob Marley has become larger than life as a cultural icon and reggae’s brightest star; his music, message, and image continue to resonate and inspire.
However, except for isolated and scattered accounts in reggae literature and academic works, the phenomenal success of Bob Marley after his death as well as his global legacy have remained largely unexplored. The Reggae Nation is the first attempt to explore and understand the global achievements and presence of Bob Marley and the Wailers and their contributions to the ‘Reggae Nation’: the worldwide reggae community. There is no other book like this unique and professionally produced work about the 'King of Reggae' and what he has meant and continues to mean to people all over the world.
As a global history of reggae and a reggae travelogue rolled into one, The Reggae Nation takes readers on an extraordinary and unique journey through time and space. From the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the frozen heights of the Himalayas in Nepal, and numerous places in between on all continents; the book takes readers to the roots and along the routes of reggae and Rastafari to make sense of the pioneering work of Bob Marley and the Wailers. In doing so, The Reggae Nation bears witness to and celebrates the enduring vibrancy of reggae music and its global spread.
The Reggae Nation is a striking and one-of-a-kind 420-page publication in large format, which allows the nearly 300 photos and illustrations to really stand out. The book is beautifully, colourfully, and richly designed and illustrated by graphic artist Maria Papaefstathiou, co-founder of the International Reggae Poster Contest. Many of the photos are by renowned reggae and pop music photographers from around the world, including Lee Abel, Adrian Boot, Murray Cammick, Kim Gottlieb-Walker, Gijsbert Hanekroot, Marcello Mencarini, Ebet Roberts, Mitsuhiro Sugawara, and Rob Verhorst. With a foreword by none other than Roger Steffens, acclaimed reggae archivist and author of So Much Things to Say: The Oral History of Bob Marley.
Roger Steffens about The Reggae Nation
“In this remarkable book, a travelogue of inspiring revelations, you will find eloquent descriptions of Marley’s globe-spanning inspiration that was the prime mover in creating what the author calls the ‘Reggae Nation’. Huisman is an articulate guide as he spins the globe, bringing remote outposts and cultures into clear view, where Marley’s works have taken hold, transformed local belief systems, and become the new hymnal for peace-seekers.”
- Roger Steffens, reggae archivist & author of So Much Things to Say: The Oral History of Bob Marley.

Contact me (martijn[at]mh1986.com) and everything will be arranged!
Shipping & customs fees
Shipping charges will be calculated after selecting your rewards. While I do my best to provide the cheapest and best possible way of shipping, it might be more expensive than you are used to. The reason is simple: shipping a book of this size and weight (approx. 2,8 kg/6.2 lbs) is expensive, particularly to destinations outside the EU. Additionally, some countries charge customs fees which you might have to pay upon delivery. Unfortunately, there is nothing that I can do about that. Please check your local regulations for information.
Why should I back this project?
1. Support a special project and one-of-its-kind book 10 years in the making.
2. The print run is limited to 500 books; it is now or never to get your numbered and autographed copy of the book!

7. Besides regular updates on campaign milestones, you get access to exclusive online content, such as book outtakes, blogs, and other content.
8. By supporting the project, you also give to charity. All book proceeds (after covering the costs) will go to HELP Jamaica! (see below for more information).
9. Last but certainly not least: you will have my sincere gratitude, from the bottom of my heart, for helping to realise this project on which I have worked for ten years and which means so much to me!
Book proceeds to charity
Bob Marley once said: “Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end.” I started and undertook this massive project not to make money, but to satisfy my curiosity about the achievements and legacy of Bob Marley and to share my passion and knowledge with others. The Reggae Nation highlights my commitment to reggae and is my way of giving something back to the music which has given me so much. That is why this book project has a non-profit character; the proceeds of book sales (after covering the costs of making the book) go to charity, namely the non-profit organisation HELP Jamaica! HELP Jamaica! supports educational projects in Jamaica to bring positive change and create opportunities for children, youths, and adults to learn and empower themselves. To be clear: all funds raised through the Kickstarter will 100% go to printing the book and covering shipment costs.
Who is the author (Martijn Huisman)?
I am a long-time reggae fan, experienced researcher and author, husband to a reggae-loving wife, and father of two young children. In 2010, I published a free online work entitled Jamming in Japan: Bob Marley & The Wailers in Japan 1979 about Bob Marley's visit to Japan. In 2018, renowned photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot and I published the photo book Babylon By Bus: Bob Marley & The Wailers Live and Up Close (English) and Babylon By Bus: Bob Marley & The Wailers in Nederland (Dutch). Babylon By Bus was realised via Kickstarter thanks to the support of people around the world.
I have been interviewed by The Jamaica Gleaner (Jamaica) and De Telegraaf (the Netherlands) and have talked about Bob Marley and reggae on BBC World Service Radio as well as Dutch NPO Radio 1 and NPO Radio 5. I was a speaker at the 2018 Reggae Innovation and Sound System Culture conference in Birmingham (U.K.) and presented live on stage at various Marley tribute events.
Professionally, I am an experienced academic- and market researcher, with a BA in History and a MA in Media and Journalism (Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands) and a recently obtained doctoral degree (PhD) in Communication Sciences from Ghent University (Belgium).

Bob Marley: ritrovati e restaurati i "lost masters"
https://www.rockol.it/news-669077/bob-marley-scoperte-e-restautate-registrazioni-live-perdute?refresh_ce
Sono state recuperate - con un colpo di fortuna - e restaurate salvandole da umidità e incrostazioni, delle preziosissime incisioni live di Bob Marley and the Wailers risalenti al periodo fra il 1975 e il 1978. Si tratta di 13 bobine contenenti le registrazioni di vari live tenuti fra Londra e Parigi, originariamente registrate con lo studio mobile dei Rolling Stones (che lo prestarono a Marley) e credute perdute - tanto che fra i fan e i collezionisti, questi nastri sono noti come "lost masters".
Le bobine sono state trovate durante dei lavori di ristrutturazione di un vecchio hotel in disuso - proprio quello dove l'artista e la sua band hanno alloggiato più volte durante i loro viaggi in Europa. Stando alle informazioni disponibili, dopo un lungo lavoro di pulizia del supporto originale è stato riversato tutto in digitale e la qualità audio sembra eccellente.
Le esibizioni in questione sarebbero quelle londinesi del Lyceum (1975), dell'Hammersmith Odeon (1976) e del Rainbow (1977), oltre a quella del Pavilion di Parigi (1978).
L'operazione di restauro è costata la bellezza di 25.000 sterline. Ora resta da vedere se il materiale sarà pubblicato ufficialmente, visto che è nelle mani di un collezionista inglese (che ha gestito e pagato tutta l'operazione).

L'ERBA DAL NOME BOB MARLEY IN MANO AD UNA SOCIETÀ DI SPECULATORI
Scritto da RasAle
Un holding punta a rendere la Marley come la "Marlboro Marijuana". Il primo marchio mai registrato in Giamaica, si chiama come il profeta del Reggae.
La scelta del nome, già da sola ha sollevato polemiche intense che approfondiremo di seguito.
La reazione nella patria della superstar è stata accolta un po' in sordina se non fosse per l'intervento del Rastafari Millennium Council che sui social network è stata dura e forte con i commenti che non lasciano dubbi.
La famiglia Marley ha dato in concessione ad un team di ricconi americani l'uso del nome del padre.
Persone non Rasta hanno annunciato al mondo intero che il primo marchio di cannabis giamaicano avrà il volto di Bob Marley.
Diversi post accusatori del Rastafari Millennium Council, per aver concesso l'ora verde dell'isola in mano a dei speculatori stranieri
Secondo Bunny Wailer, l'unico in vita dei tre, ha raccontato che non è giusto chiamarla così.
Del gruppo fu quello che ebbe meno a che fare con la ganja. Sia lui che Peter furono arrestati per difenderne i principi.
Sul tema, la posizione di Bob era più tiepida e pacata, ... continua raccontando.... Peter Tosh fu l'unico ad essere finito in carcere per mezzo spinello che stava fumando e non volle cedere alla polizia finendo per sfidarla e poi come tutti sappiamo in carcere.
A questa premessa che fa realmente riflettere, si scopre oggi che ha commercializzarla saranno dei bianchi, affaristi senza scrupoli che non hanno nulla a che fare con Rastafari e per di più Americani.
Bob la definiva l'America come la terra di "diavoleria pura". Ma l’appeal ad un nome così conosciuto è maggiore e di conseguenza le vendite.
Sarà stata rispettata il tacito assenzio di Robert Nesta ?
Decisamente No secondo la comunità Rasta sull'isola e secondo voi ?
