Bob Marley is a legend around the world. But it was a long journey from the poverty of Jamaican international success.When he was a boy in the 1950's Jamaica was still a British Colony. It became independent in 1962. The culture was a mix of African traditions and British customs, but there were few opportunity for Afro Jamaicans. One of them was music.
