Because we’ve become so accustomed to hearing music from the Marley brothers, it is always refreshing when we get songs from one of the sisters; infrequent as it may be.

A few days ago, Sharon Marley blessed us with an unusual but beautiful lovers-rock tune called Steppah. Done in collaboration with the living legend Big Youth, the timely record went live on all streaming platforms just before valentine’s day, with the official video dropping approximately seventy-two hours later.

Jam Link International, the organization that’s responsible for Aarhus’ Annual Bob Marley Celebration, has announced the full lineup for the 2024 staging. The event, which will take place on February 24th at Volume Village – Thomas Koppels Gade 201 – in Aarhus, Denmark, will deliver a mix of live music, sound-system juggling, and a digital exhibition centered on reggae music.

This year’s main headliner is Kenyan reggae artist Empress Black Omolo, who is now based in Holland (Netherlands). Omolo officially entered the music scene in 2013, which is when she shared her first recording, Love Your Life. Since then, she has toured all over Europe and has done shows in Jamaica, Brazil, and other regions around the globe, thus cementing her name on the world stage. 

In addition to Empress Black Omolo, the celebration will also feature Aarhus’ local reggae ensemble, One Love Marley Band; selectors DJ Henning, Booyaka Sound, and Denali Crew; as well as a cultural presentation by Danish writer Henrik Baek.

Tickets and additional information can be obtained from Volume Village’s website.
