In São Paulo, Credicard Hall hosts Ziggy Marley, blending Reggae with World Music on his tour!

On October 05, 2006, once again Credicard Hall, a renowned concert venue in São Paulo, welcomed one of the greatest exponents of world reggae. After having hosted stars such as Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Israel Vibration, The Wailers and Alpha Blondy, it was the turn of one of Bob's legitimate heirs: Ziggy Marley. Ziggy is currently promoting the tour of his new solo album, “Love is my Religion”, released in Brazil by Deckdisc. The privileged Brazilian cities are Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba. In São Paulo Ziggy, as usual, performed many of Bob's hits. Songs such as “Rastaman Vibration”, “Africa Unite”, “Get Up Stand Up” and “Jammin’” drove the audience wild, recalling unforgettable performances by Bob, the greatest idol of third-world music. But Ziggy did not stop singing his own songs, such as “Tomorrow People”, from the time when he was a member of the group “The Melody Makers”. The show was characterized by the experiments the artist has been making in the fusion of reggae with “world music”, very present on his new album. World Music is an old project aimed at the quality of songs for everyone to understand. One of the forerunners of the "movement" was the ex-Beatle and now deceased George Harrison, during his journeys through India. The night ended with a flourish with the title track of the new album “Love is My Religion”.
