It's been 50 years since Bunny Wailer recorded his first song. With a successful career, his songs are part of Jamaica's popular culture, and have influenced hundreds of artists around the world. "Reincarnated Souls" is a box distributed by Tads Records, this being their most recent production.
There are 50 songs on 3 CDs, as well as a double DVD called "Trench Town Experience", which tells the story of the community of Kingston where the famous Wailer began his career. Bunny says he is satisfied with the evolution of Jamaican popular music:
It's been 50 years since the birth of ska, and people are starting to hear this great rhythm again. Men like me help keep this legacy alive..."

Many songs on "Reincarnated Souls", including "Burn Down Babylon", "Easy Rude Boy" and "Rebel", were written by Bunny, now 66 years old. Other songs received a very characteristic look from the star, such as "A Love I Can Feel" by John Holt, "Push Wood" by Jackie Opel, and the classic by Tom Jones, "What’s New Pussycat".
Bunny Wailer has already forever written his name in the history of reggae, mainly for being part of the biggest and most important group the rhythm has ever seen, the Wailers, which included none other than the late Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.
Before conquering the world with reggae, the group was originally ska, having recorded several hits such as the great "Simmer Down".
