When Rastaman Vibration was released in 1976, reggae expanded beyond Jamaica, firmly establishing its voice on the global stage. From powerful tracks like “Positive Vibration,” “Roots, Rock, Reggae,” and “War,” these anthems carry messages of resistance, faith, and humanism, inviting everyone to listen to one another.

Under the guidance of Aston Barrett Jr., son of the legendary Aston “Familyman” Barrett, The Wailers’ legacy continues to thrive. With a deep respect for their roots and a commitment to authenticity, Aston leads the group forward, joined on stage by the charismatic vocalist Mitchell Brunings, whose energy captivates audiences and passes the spirit of reggae to new generations.

Aston Barrett Jr.'s journey extends beyond the stage; he takes on the role of his father in the upcoming biopic Bob Marley: One Love, directed by Reynaldo Marcus Green. This personal endeavor adds a profound layer to his connection with The Wailers' history.

The Grammy-nominated albums One World and Evolution show that The Wailers live on through new music. Evolution, produced by Emilio Estefan Jr., reinterprets classic roots reggae into a contemporary global sound, echoing messages of love, freedom, and human dignity worldwide.

🔊 Prepare for a setlist featuring the strongest hits from The Wailers' catalog, including iconic songs by Bob Marley as well as their latest compositions—a night dedicated to timeless music and enduring messages.
