The son of the legendary reggae artist Bob Marley, who spends much of his time touring and also lives in Miami, talks about the joys of going back to Jamaica.
It is rare for a Jamaican to top the chart, and OMI, while basking in the publicity of his song’s remix hitting No. 1, hopes to continue to appeal to a variety of audiences.
“Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds,†at the New Victory Theater, blends Marley’s music with a narrative about a boy who prefers to stay home and watch TV.
Raucous parties in Jamaica are often filmed, and the footage is sold to Jamaicans abroad who are nostalgic for the sights, sounds and thumping bass lines of home.
