Dwayne “Danglin” Anglin brings in the audience, encouraging them to sing along to “Is This Love” a little louder, clap their hands faster to “Buffalo Soldier”, compete with other sections of the venue in cheering along with “War”.

THE WAILERS & BOB MARLEY GANJA GUN HOW TO
Whether outside or inside, day or night, The Wailers know how to rock the house. The Wailers know how to bring it all the time, every time. If you're looking for groovy, soulful reggae, look no further. They are the pioneers of one drop reggae to this day, and with a line-up as experienced as they are, a live show of theirs can still knock people for six at twenty paces. Under his guidance the band has played to an estimated total audience of 24 million people over the years, and have worked and performed with artists like Sting, Stevie Wonder and Carlos Santana. He’d been Marley’s most trusted lieutenant right up until his passing, responsible for most of the songs arrangements and playing on the vast majority of his greatest hits. In fact, Barrett’s nickname came from how he saw himself as the organizer of the band from the very beginning. It’s hard to believe that everything that happened next only happened in seven years, but come 1981, Marley passed away due to cancer.Īfter Marley’s passing, bassist Aston “Family Man” Barrett arguably became the band leader.
However, after several chart successes Livingstone and Tosh were unwilling to tour, so the band split and Marley reformed the Wailers as his backing band. The first incarnation of The Wailers eventually consisted of Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone playing together as a power trio. Even from a purely musical perspective, we’re talking about the creators of some of the most iconic pop music of our time.
The influence and impact of Bob Marley and The Wailers goes far beyond that of the fab four, to the extent where some, very understandably, call Marley a straight up prophet. To sum up the history of The Wailers is akin to summing up the history of The Beatles, except even more so.
