In those struggling days Bob and his wife Rita would sleep in a small room given to them by Rita's aunt Viola which served as their record shop by day and their home at night. Endeavoring to get their music heard Bob and Rita could be seen throughout Kingston riding their bicycles while carrying their records on their heads as they went from shop to shop selling their music. Such inde-pendent vision was unheard of in Jamaica back in the mid 60's and was a sign of greater things to come for the young Tuff Gong..... PRESS RELEASE ------------- Reggae icon Ziggy Marley releases a full-length live concert DVD on Feb 12, 2008. The Love Is My Religion DVD, produced by Live Nation Studios, was taped live at Los Angeles Avalon Theatre in December 2006. The most extensive worldwide tour of his career that wrapped in December 2007, the Avalon show and the entire LIMR World Tour was heralded as some of Marleys finest work ever. Ziggy appears in rare form throughout the DVD's 19 tracks and nearly two hours of live footage. With his voice and his band honed to precision after months on the road, from the United States and abroad, the live DVD captures the tours momentum in support of the Grammy Award-winning album. During the 18 month tour, Marley visited over one hundred and sixty cities across the globe and was honored to be the first Reggae artist to perform in Mainland China. Featuring selections from his solo arsenal, as well as Melody Maker hits and a few of his fathers classics, Ziggy delivers the show of a lifetime. Cinematography and production were given the utmost attention, resulting in vivid imagery combined with stunning sound. Viewers of the DVD will enjoy a front row seat to the extravaganza as captured by an eight camera production taped in widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio. Ziggy Marley remains true to the independent nature instilled in him by his legendary father, establishing himself in recent years as a solo artist and producing his first independently-released projects on the Tuff Gong Worldwide label. He recently announced the re-release of the Love Is My Religion album on December 4, 2007 which includes live bonus recordings of Jammin, Dragonfly, and Look Whos Dancin from the Avalon show. In a unique independent distribution deal, Marley eschews the traditional record industry formula, instead penning a distribution deal between Tuff Gong Worldwide and RYKO Distribution. Tuff Gong was first founded in 1965 by Bob Marley, with the vision of producing, distributing, and promoting his music free from the constraints of corporate label politics. In a time decades before artist-owned record labels were commonplace, Marleys vision was characteristically well ahead of its time. Ziggy is realizing his fathers dreams. A LITTLE ABOUT ZIGGY MARLEY --------------------------- Born in Trenchtown, Jamaica, Ziggy Marley was surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Jamaican recording industry from a very young age. First accompanying his father in the studio at a tender age, he soon joined with his siblings to form The Melody Makers. The act enjoyed two decades of successful touring and recording, netting three Grammy Awards and worldwide renown. Ziggy has contributed to a variety of soundtracks including 50 First Dates, Dora the Explorer, the PBS childrens show Arthur, and Sharks Tale, in which he delved into acting for the first time, playing the character of Bernie, the Jamaican jellyfish. In addition to his skills as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ziggy founded U.R.G.E. (Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment), a non-profit organization that benefits a wide range of charitable childrens causes in Jamaica, Ethiopia and other developing nations. More recently he has lent his support to both the Youth AIDS and H&Ms Fashion Against Aids campaigns.
