Reggae in Kingston City

From Culture Yard, Trench Town to The Jamaica National Stadium to Tuff-Gong Studio and to the Bob Marley Museum, this day trip offers an experience of a life time that connects you to the life and work of Bob Marley while learning about the history of Reggae music and connecting with its true essence.

Bob Marley in Trench Town- Trench Town is a public housing scheme built in the 1940s, and is reputed as the birthplace of Reggae music. Bob moved here as a young teen with his mother, after his father’s death; this is where his musical journey is known to have commenced. The rough shantytown community will forever be immortalized by its many superstars, and too in classic songs including ‘Trench Town Rock’.   While living at the venue, Bob Marley and the Wailers was formed and their first album `Catch a Fire’ was recorded. The Trench Town Culture Yard still contains personal possessions used by front men Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer. Visiting the Culture Yard helps generate revenue for the impoverished community that spawned them and so many other great talents. Some are deterred from visiting due to the volatile reputation of surrounding areas. 

The National Stadium, built ahead of Jamaica's first independence celebration in 1962, was constructed during Bob’s teenage years. It became a backdrop for a significant moment in Bob’s career, and eventually his homegoing service. THE ONE LOVE PEACE CONCERT In 1978 Bob Marley and the Wailers headlined a larger-than-life One Love Peace Concert here, which was his first show on returning to Jamaica. This was during a time when the country was experiencing a civil war divide, with gun battles between political street gangs. Opposing sides declared an uneasy truce, and the Peace Concert was intended to celebrate that as well as commemorate Ethiopian leader Haile Selassie’s visit to Jamaica exactly 12 years prior. During the ‘Jammin’ song performance, Bob called on then-Prime Minister Michael Manley and opposition leader Edward Seaga to join him onstage in a gesture for national unity. The 3 joined hands, and that notable moment and night embodied his timeless lyrics ‘One Love’. 3 years later Bob returned to the National Stadium for his funeral.

Tuff Gong International was founded by Bob Marley in 1965. It is the birthplace of some of his greatest musical work such as ‘One Love’ and ‘Redemption Song’. When Bob built Tuff Gong Recording Studio he seeded a legacy and empire that continues to earn heavily, run by the Marley family and still in use by sons Ziggy, Stephen, and Damian aka Junior Gong.  It grants an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the record-making process from rehearsal to album, with the help of vintage equipment alongside newer technologies. The Rehearsal Room still houses Bob’s own pianos, keyboard, trap drums, and mixing board. Tuff Gong International boasts one of the few remaining operational vinyl record manufacturing plants. Today, the studio is one of the largest audio recording facilities and music distributors in the Caribbean! It still attracts many international stars to record in the UNESCO Creative City of Kingston. 

The Bob Marley Museum, This Georgian-style clapboard house was Bob Marley’s last home in Jamaica. The uptown residence eventually became one of Kingston’s top tourist attractions, known today as the Bob Marley Museum. He resided there from 1975 until 1981, just a stone’s throw from the residences of the Governor General and parish Mayor.  Now a shrine to his memory, it possesses a collection of photos, awards, preserved possessions and rooms that grant a peek into his life. Even the bullet holes from an unsuccessful 1976 attack on his life remain at the residence. The house is still owned and operated by the Marley family 

Roots Chalice Bonfire - Purification Ceremony

Infusing all these fundamental elements of Rastafari livity for a truly authentic experience. Roots - Fermented herbal drinks ~ Reggae - The heart and soul of the Rasta Man vibration ~ Yoga - Unity and an embodiment of the Divine ~ Chalice – chalice tutorial with the option to interact with medicinal cannabis in a sacramental way.  

Bonfire - A fire ceremony is a powerful Rastafari practice used to release unwanted energies and attachments from the past to make space for new intentions (a purge). A fire ceremony can be used to release unhappy memories, fears, negative emotions, and anything that you are holding onto that does not serve or add value to your Higher Self. By releasing such unwanted energies and old patterns into the fire, you are healing at the soul level.

Bob Marley Beach

Many are familiar with former homes of reggae icon Bob Marley through namesake Kingston museum and St. Ann mausoleum attractions. Did you know that he also lived in Bull Bay for some time? Bob Marley Beach reportedly got its name because it was said to be  one of Bob Marley's favorite spots in the community.

Keeping Reggae Music Sacred The ultimate musical experience, with live performance and channeling from 5 Star Celestial and his band.

About 5 Star Celestial 

Celestial “Ites”. Cultivated in Kingston Jamaica, 5Star Celestial’s path in music was charted for him by a Higher Power, dear I say, it like it was “written in the stars”. Engaged in the performing arts from a tender age; 5Star’s artistry represents an eclectic combination of sharp flows, soothing melodies and refreshingly clever and potent lyricism. His musical interest started while in high school, where he went from

deejaying covers of popular dancehall songs to writing his own material. 

Heavily influenced by his experiences and observations, his music was from that time, a lyrically potent reflection of realities youths tend to face growing up in the city. 5 Star started to make musical endeavors with a few peers during his latter high school years, linking up with a group of young Hip-Hop artistes who referred to themselves as the ‘Sons of Liberty’. With them, he began making his first set of studio recordings and consistent stage appearances in the process. 

His consciousness started to expand with his increasing identification with the Ras

Tafari faith and the examples of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I & Her Imperial

Majesty Empress Menen Asfaw and as a result his music quickly started to reflect

that; and as knowledge and overstanding increased, so did the potency of his songs. His association with the Jamaican music group the Sons of Liberty helped to hone 5Star’s versatility. Through performing at local stage shows, he mastered the craft of engaging audiences with his conscious and witty lyricism. 5 Star Celestial’s lyrical creativity and rhythmic flow have elements of influence from artists like Bounty Killer, Super Cat and Damian Jr.Gong Marley, while containing a within the heights of RasTafari consciousness.
