many ethnic groups have come to jamaica and it is not a startling thing that any number of jamaicans could possibly have 'jewish ancestry' as jewish signifies a religion and not a race...there are jews of different races and there are african jews in ethiopia and south africa that trace their lineage to ancient times </div></div>

me weh tink sey him daddi was a white man fram englan.? </div></div>

Bobs father was Jamaican, I had read somewhere that his family was originally from Wales and of Levantine Jewish descent.

In my opinion &quot;colorism&quot; is not the main reason why Tosh did not get his due.The main reason he did not get his &quot;due&quot; ,was
that he was considered, too <span style="font-weight: bold">militant</span>.Marley has been <span style="font-weight: bold">repackage,</span>
as this none threating ,care free, one love musician.
If you listen to to the radio and did not know of marley's
music, that would be the conclusion you would come to.

I also agree with the Tosh-was-too-militant-to-market-effectively idea.

Being part Jewish or part &quot;whatever&quot; wont ever detract from Bob's status as one of our National Heroes... <span style="font-weight: bold">Bob Marley, a Jamaican, a Rasta-Fari,</span> was above all other considerations, a <span style="font-weight: bold">Black Man of honour...</span> Most Jamaicans are product of racial, cultural and ethnic blendings however tiny. ~ Bob must have known his background but never allowed it to get in the way of expressing his philosophy... Knowing who he &quot;really&quot; was, gave him the grounding to make him comfortable within his own skin...

Jews follow the Matriarchal Blood Line,when determining Jewish Heritage

Mother is Jewish/Father is not=Child is Jewish
vs
Father is Jewish/Mother is not=Child not Jewish

The reason why Judaism is matrilineal: because we always know who the mother is.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Bob Marley is not the greatest musician</span> - Buju

Monday, April 27, 2009

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 want Jamaican music to be seen not through the pretext of some man that died 20 years ago

Banton respects Marley's music but argued that calling him the greatest logically implies that no better can follow.

&quot;I want Jamaican music to be seen not through the pretext of some man that died 20 years ago, but as a pretext of a living being, working earnestly. If man cannot do what others have done in these times we might as well die,&quot; he told a mixed crowd at the launch of Rasta Got Soul, his new album, at the University of the West Indies on Thursday. &quot;You know they say that the greatest musician in Jamaica is Bob Marley. I don't believe that, because we have greater musicians to come. Bob was the most promoted, and well promoted and we have to appreciate that because its our culture but don't kill our culture with one living one. Enough is Enough.&quot;

Currently Bob Marley's 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 Marley's 1984 album above any other reggae album on iTunes, arguably the Internet's most popular online music store. These online sales will add to the album's sales which have surpassed 20 million. Comparatively, thethe average reggae album sells some 5,000 units worldwide.
Bob Marley

Banton's comments received claps from the crowd. He then evidenced his point with reference to Marley's sons who receive the brunt of the comparisons. &quot;Bob had nine sons, allow the youths to be who they are destined to be, because once you do that they automatically fade away. Don't line me up with anybody. Don't parallel me and then you find you kill I. I can learn from the great ones and can learn by the wheel, but I don't want to be that someone who you only see in that shadow,&quot; said Banton who had been compared to Marley with his 1995 release Til Shiloh.

That album had songs in the reggae folk tradition with Untold Stories being its classic hit. Even 14 years after the release it's frequently compared with Marley's Redemption Song. Til Shiloh had set the standard for subsequent Banton releases, but Banton has been torn between two lovers: dancehall and reggae. But on his new 15 track album both genres are included. Banton released Reggae Got Soul via his own record label Gargamel Music Inc, via a Tommy Boy distribution
