Bob Marley's Memory Honored in Ethiopia08.02.2005
Tens of thousands of Rastafarians from different countries have flooded the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa these days, where lavish celebrations are taking place to mark the 60th anniversary of the birth of the "king of reggae" Bob Marley. These days, the streets of the Ethiopian capital are full of red, green and yellow. The tricolor of the national Ethiopian flag has become a symbol of the Rastafarians. Bob Marley's followers can always be recognized by their appearance - in addition to the traditional colors of their clothes, they wear dreadlocks - tangled strands of hair. A stage was erected in the city's main square, where musicians from different countries performed an anniversary concert. Bob Marley himself, who died in 1981 at the age of 36 from cancer, considered Ethiopia the spiritual homeland of his Rastafarian faith. Now it is a place of worship for all Marley fans. For many Rastafarians, the concert was a kind of confirmation of their faith, with such constant attributes as smoking marijuana and honoring the last Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie, who died in 1975. One of the main characters in the current celebrations was the musician's widow, Rita Marley. On the eve of the anniversary, her statement provoked heated debates among Marley's fans. Last month, she said Bob Marley would be reburied in Ethiopia during the celebrations. But she changed her mind and said there was a time for everything. The official religion of Ethiopia is Christianity, which is close to Orthodoxy. Its followers do not take kindly to the Rastafarians' love of marijuana and their worship of Emperor Haile Selassie. And the late emperor himself did not approve of the idea of ​​his own deification by Bob Marley's co-religionists. However, at the last concert all differences were forgotten. After all, for Bob Marley's songs there are no racial or musical barriers. BBCRussian.com
