Reggae continues to have a foothold in the African nation of Zimbabwe. In April 1980, that country, then called Rhodesia, gained its independence from Britain and Bob Marley was invited to entertain. Marley′s Zimbabwe was penned for this occasion.
Marley′s presence reportedly caused such a stir that a riot broke out and only he could calm the crowds by staging a second concert.


Fast forward 30 years and it is another Jamaican Reggae ambassador who stilled a crowd in Zimbabwe.
