Kids worldwide are continuously inspired by the legacy of Reggae icon Bob Marley.
Following the local debut of the children’s play ‘Nesta’s Rock’, the latest evidence comes from an all new children’s play to open in Berkley called ‘Three Little Birds: A New Reggae Children’s Musical’.
The musical is based on a story written by Cedella Marley, the music legend’s daughter.

According to CEO of the Marley Group of Companies, Cedella Marley,
“The Group, through Tuff Gong International, is very happy to be associated with the upcoming production as the life of our father Bob Marley continues to inspire the young and the old as we continue to spread his positive message to the younger generation”.
