uShaka Marine World will be in high spirits on February 5 when The Meditators, a local 8-piece reggae style band, will again be celebrating Bob Marley Earth Day Reggae Music Festival – a worldwide celebration of the reggae legend’s birthday that takes place in SA, USA and Jamaica to name just a few countries.
For all Bob Marley fans, this show will certainly not disappoint. The inaugural event in 2011 brought hundreds of fans to uShaka to celebrate and this year promises to be bigger and better.
The Meditators were formed in the early 90’s. Their first reggae album was released in 1993 followed by a second in 2000. In 2002 and 2003, they played at the Awesome Africa Festival. In 2004, they were part of Vodacom Beach Africa. They also performed with Rita Marley and the I–threes from Jamaica at the Bat Centre as part of Women’s Day Celebrations in Durban. The band is a regular performer at uShaka Marine World over weekends.
The Meditators will host this annual event in partnership with uShaka Marine World Entertainment.
They will appear on February 5 between 10h00 and 18h00 at Wahooz Beach Bar on the uShaka promenade featuring guest bands, Rasta Rhythm, Undivided Roots (PMB) David Yaso Band (Bloemfontein) Tuff Masters (South Coast), Queen Tshepi, guest DJ’s all in tribute to the great legend Robert Nesta Marley.
