Next Sunday Bob Marley would have turned 60! The ideals of the Third World's star remain strong.

The Bob Marley Foundation (Bob Marley Foundation) in partnership with the Rita Marley Foundation (Rita Marley Foundation) celebrate the date of the King's birth with a huge benefit concert in Ethiopia! Foundations provide aid to organizations that conduct programs that primarily help children, youth, and the elderly. They encourage work and culture, awakening entrepreneurship in the beneficiaries, with the social concern that everyone can help themselves and not depend exclusively on donations. Income generated goes directly to foundations with projects already underway across Africa. The event, titled Africa Unite, gains emphasis this year:AFRICA UNITE, the 60th Birthday Celebration of the Honor Rebel Bob Marley. The emphasis is given to the importance of the event this year, as it will help a more than noble cause! 50% of tickets sold will go to Tsunami survivors in Somalia!
