Bob Marley died in 1981, officially due to malignant melanoma, a dangerous type of cancer that was found on his big toe. Some believe it was from a copper wire that was in a pair of boots given to him by a CIA agents son at a concert, which poked him in the big toe, and he hurt it more while playing soccer.
he died on May 11, 1981 at the age of 36
However, 5 years earlier (December 5, 1976) at a concert in Jamaica, Bob, his wife and manager were all shot by an unidentified gunman. They all survived the attack.
The concert was billed as a peace rally to quell growing political violence in the run-up to the country's national elections, but was viewed by many as a political rally by the sitting government. Bob was therefore accused of taking sides and is believed to have been attacked by gunmen aligned with the government's main political opponents.

By the late 1960s, reggae was getting radio play in the United Kingdom on John Peel's radio show, and Peel continued to play much reggae during his career. Reggae has always had a fairly large following in the United Kingdom, especially during the 1970s and 1980s. In the second half of the 1970s, the UK punk rock scene was starting to take off, and some punk DJs played reggae records during their DJ sets. Certain punk bands, such as The Clash, The Slits and The Ruts incorporated reggae influences into their music. Reggae includes several subgenres, such as roots reggae, dub, lovers rock and dancehall.
Musical characteristicsReggae is always played in 4/4 time or swing time because the symmetrical rhythm pattern does not lend itself to other time signatures such as 3/4 time. Harmonically, the music is often very simple, and sometimes a whole song will have no more than one or two chords. The Bob Marley and the Wailers song "Exodus" is almost entirely comprised of A-minor chords. These simple repetitious chord structures add to the hypnotic effect that reggae sometimes has. However, Marley also wrote more complex chord structures, and the band Steel Pulse have often used very complex chord structures.reggae?method=26&initiator=WANS
reggae music originate in Jamaica in the late 1960's
He was very important to the black community because he did many concerts to contribute to many different aids. He is an idol to many people. In his songs he has many different meanings including love and peace keeping. To many people he was a god. He is truly a hero.
Does Bob Marley have lyrics with figurative language?
yes he has. One example would be "burning and looting" in this song he says .."this morning I woke up in a curfew, oh god I was a prisoner too,
could not recognise the faces standing over me, they were all dressed in brutality,....." and then talks about burning and looting. But as he explains in one interview, he did not mean literally burning down the town, instead he was talking about burning certain things out of our minds so we, as humans, can live together in harmony.
I am sure he has other figurative songs as well.
Who sang an old reggae song that had the lyrics santa is a blackman?
The one who sings santa Claus is a black man is a little girl named Akim. It is not a racist song if you listen to the lyrics, read in between the lines. It really about a girl who believes in santa Claus, and she sees her daddy dressed in santa clothes, and she just doesn't know it.
