Calendars hate me. Everytime, with every single day I’m really in trouble with dates. I can realize that today is Friday and I also know that Santa brings all that chocolate stuff for Hungarian children on the 6th of December, but hey, that’s all. Let me explain. My next exam will be on Tuesday, I have to buy new season ticket next Thursday and I have to write about the Ladánybene’s Tosh meets Marley project happening on this Sunday (27th, January) evening, well... two weeks ago.
The end of January and the front of February is about Bob Marley’s birthday in the whole world, or just should be. Tell me one person, who doesn’t know him (at least from Will Smith’s I am legend, that movie can give a new generation of reggea fans to the world). The King of the reggae, the Father of the reggae. Tell me one single person who cannot feel that tropical heat during listening Three little birds or any other songs from Marley. He was a real genious.
In our country, in Central Europe in January, the wheather is not as tropical as in Jamaica, and the color grey is much more than that wellknown yellow, red or green.
And in this term of the year, the band called Ladánybene 27 sets up a concert to tribute Marley. Every year.
Ladánybene 27 is a Hungarian band plays reggae, actually they’re the most popular reggae band in here since 1985. Nobody played reggae in Hungary before them, maybe that’s why were they so successful with their first album in 1991 with some reggae songs by the ska.
Because people need that kind of music. The music about peace and love, the end of the wars and the equality of people, the equaliy of anyone. That’s what Marley’s and that’s what Ladánybene’s music about. Not that „just smoking your joint” thing.
The Tosh meets Marley project is an international production, be on tour right now, and this Sunday evening, completed with the Ladánybene, will have a show on the A38.
Peter Tosh is one of the people whom Marley started to work with. He, Marley and Bunny Wailer (from the latter Marley and the Wailers) gave such perfect songs to a world like Get Up, Stand Up; One love or Buffalo Soldier, I just can’t enumerate all of their world-famous genious songs.
And the Ladánybene is a genious band, also in their way. Because they started to do something new, something strange, they have a million of fans now, their annual reggae camp is always full and now, they can play with the Tosh meets Marley, have an all night long concert tribute with the biggest names and most talented musicians from their own musical style. It’s a real honor, and I’m sure they’re good enough, they really deserve it.
At least I’d like to share two videos with you. One new song from the Ladánybene and my favourite of Marley. And I’m really sorry because I’m late with this information. See you next week.
