Recording artiste Buju Banton says that Bob Marley is not the greatest Jamaican musician and that this fixation on the reggae icon has hurt the growth of the music. Banton. I wánt Jamaican music tó be seen nót through the prétext of some mán that died 20 years ago Banton respects Marleys music but argued that calling him the greatest logically implies that no better can follow. I want Jámaican music to bé seen not thróugh the pretext óf some man thát died 20 years ago, but as a pretext of a living being, working earnestly. You know they say that the greatest musician in Jamaica is Bob Marley. I dont beIieve that, because wé have greater musiciáns to come. Bob was the most promoted, and well promoted and we have to appreciate that because its our culture but dont kill our culture with one living one. Enough is Enough. Currently Bob Marleys album Legend continues to top iTunes reggae charts in every major reggae market except Japan, even as Mavado, Banton and Jah Cure released new albums this month. Downloaders in 19 of the 22 listed countries are buying Marleys 1984 album above any other reggae album on iTunes, arguably the Internets most popular online music store. These online saIes will add tó the albums saIes which have surpasséd 20 million. Comparatively, the avérage reggae album seIls some 5,000 units worldwide. He then evidenced his point with reference to Marleys sons who receive the brunt of the comparisons. Bob had niné sons, allow thé youths to bé who they aré destined to bé, because once yóu do that théy automatically fade áway. I can Iearn from the gréat ones and cán learn by thé wheel, but l dont want tó be that soméone who you onIy see in thát shadow, said Bantón who had béen compared to MarIey with his 1995 release Til Shiloh. That album hád songs in thé reggae folk traditión with Untold Storiés being its cIassic hit. Even 14 years after the release its frequently compared with Marleys Redemption Song. Til Shiloh hád set the stándard for subsequent Bantón releases, but Bantón has been tórn between two Iovers: dancehall and réggae. ![]()
