In 2025, Reggae icon Bob Marley would have turned 80. In honour of this occasion, Culchahworks presents “Global Marley” - a concert of Bob Marley’s hits, performed by artists from across the globe who call Canada home, in a dizzying array of styles and genres other than Reggae.

Why this approach? Quite simply, to illustrate the global reach and significance of Marley’s music. From humble roots in Jamaica, Marley wrote songs that spread messages of peace and love, as well as resistance, that resonate with people all over the globe, right up to the present day. What better way to illustrate his impact than to have musicians perform Marley’s music in their own musical languages?

From Classical to jazz, R & B to funk, Celtic to Chinese, Indian to Indigenous - come and experience the brilliant songwriting of Bob Marley, rendered lovingly and respectfully by world-class artists such as Kuné Global Orchestra, the Blackburn Brothers, Jason Wilson, vocal group Born Of One, Faith Amour, Lina Cao, and others - all artistically led by Culchahworks Artistic Director Andrew Craig (Rhapsodius).

This one-night-only event is not to be missed! Experience your favourite Bob Marley songs like you’ve never heard them before - with Global Marley!
