Ethiopians celebrate Bob Marley's birthday
Thousands of Ethiopians and Rastafarians were jamming on a hot Sunday in Addis Ababa’s main square as Ethiopia threw a birthday bash for the late reggae star Bob Marley, in what is billed as the country’s largest concert.
It is part of month-long celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Marley’s birth. He died in 1981. This is first time the event was held outside the singer’s native Jamaica and is organised by the Bob Marley Foundation, the UN children’s agency, the African Union and others.
