Redemption Song
Acoustic song composed, performed and performed solo by Bob Marley, “Redemption Song“is the final title of his latest album, Uprising, produced by Chris Blackwell. This music is considered one of the artist’s masterpieces, to whom, at the time of writing this title in 1979, was diagnoses a disease that will soon take hold.
He was already secretly in pain and was aware of his own death, especially in this song.
A cover performed by several overseas artists
Hymn to emancipation, with folk accents much more than reggae, “Redemption Song“has since known a thousand lives, from Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer to Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Yannick Noah, Alicia Keys, including Rihanna, Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Tété, Corneille and Angélique Kidjo.
