Classic Albums - Bob Marley & the Wailers - Catch a Fire (2000)

In the twilight of the 1960s, the concept of reggae music transcending its novelty status was deemed a laughing matter. The genre required a prophetic voice, a beacon of power to infiltrate the mainstream. This voice was born from the collective passions of three Jamaican visionaries - Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Robert Nesta Marley. They envisioned an ideological revolution, harnessing the power of deeply contemplative, trance-inducing, and spiritual melodies. The album 'Catch a Fire' marked not only the Wailers' global introduction but also the grand arrival of reggae, transforming Bob Marley into an iconic figure of colossal stature. It was the first album that stayed faithful to the roots of reggae while weaving in elements palatable to the broader popular culture. This film traces the journey of how a small island sound became a global phenomenon.
