Details Genre: Reggae Label: Island Size: 12″ Additional Artists: Nutty O Winky D Rema Skip Marley Ami Faku Tiwa Savage Afro B Teni Oxlade Format: 33RPM, Bob Marley’s Greatest Hits Reimagined on Vinyl LP! Reggae Icon’s Best-Loved Songs Infused with the Infectious Rhythms of Afrobeats! Bob Marley’s immortality continues with Africa Unite, a majestic, posthumous album celebrating the vibrant fusion of Reggae and Afrobeats. The album portrays two worlds colliding from a whole new generation of Afro-fused musicians reinterpreting Bob Marley’s classic songs. As the name suggests, unity is at the heart of the album, and that is without a doubt the focus. Featuring Nutty O, Winky D, Rema, Skip Marley, Ami Faku, Tiwa Savage, Afro B, Teni, Oxlade, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Arya Starr and Patoranking. “Africa Unite is an album that showcases the importance of Bob Marley in modern day Africa,” says Bob Marley’s daughter Cedella Marley. “The artists that feature on this album have reimagined Bob Marley’s classics in a way we know he would have loved and been proud of.” While most tribute comps are mixed bags, Africa Unite is the opposite. Almost flawless in its presentation, these artists complement one another well, and approach the material with ambition and reverence. -Thom Jurek, AllMusic, 4/5 Features Vinyl LP Black Vinyl Made in the EU Selections So Much Trouble (ft.
