Bob Marley was a pioneer - not just because he was the one who introduced Reggae music to the world, but also because his passionate, danceable, yet socialy conscious music is outstanding and unique even today. "I Shot The Sherif", "No Woman No Cry", "Could You Be Loved" and "Turn Your Lights Down Low" are all just a small sample of the countless hits Robert Nester Marley has immortalized.

After intensive work B.M.J.B. has now gotten so deep into the essence of Bob Marley´s musical works, that one could make even the most sceptical person believe in reincarnation: Bob Marley is back! Any  "winter-pale" Dane will be able to feel the sun shining when B.M.J.B. takes the stage with their cocktail of Caribbean Rasta vibes and exotic Reggae rythms.
