REGGAE LIVES (The Congos & The Gladiators) Lisbon

On the date that commemorates the 42nd anniversary of the death of Bob Marley, considered by many the most prominent figure in Reggae, a great night will be held at LAV - Lisboa Ao Vivo with two contemporary bands of this icon: The Congos + Los Gladiadores.

THE CONGOS are one of the last Jamaican bands to maintain their original lineup since the 70s and that powerful unity and cohesion can be felt in their concerts, which are authentic Rastafarian masses.

Naturally, his fame was built around the legendary album Heart of the Congos recorded in the legendary Black Ark studio, by Lee 'Scratch' Perry, and which includes gems of root reggae such as the famous 'Fisherman', considered by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the ten best songs

Reggae music of all time.

THE GLADIATORS was founded in 1967 by Albert Griffiths, who chose the name after watching gladiator combat in the film Ben-Hur. The idea of these men fighting for their freedom, similar to the fight against Babylon, immediately appealed to the Rasta community and even

Today it is associated with the fight against the harshness of life in Jamaica.
