Bob Marley - Live In Zimbabwe (Full Concert)

Performing on April 18th, 1980 for the Zimbabwe Independence Celebrations, Bob Marley and The Wailers laid down an inspiring set at Rufaro Stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe. In April of 1980, Bob Marley and the Wailers were afforded the highest honour of their careers. On April 18th, the country Rhodesia was to celebrate its independence from England, and Bob Marley and The Wailers were invited to perform at the ceremony. From that day forward the African nation was to be called Zimbabwe. Officials from Zimbabwe’s government-elect invited Marley and the band to perform at the Independence ceremonies. Cost was to be no barrier: Marley, whose “Zimbabwe“ tune had proved inspirational to the ZANLA (Zimbabwe National Liberation Army) freedom fighters, was paying for it all out of his own pocket.
