Speaker 2 (00:03):
One Love is in cinemas today. It's a story of
Bob Marley and his son Ziggy, a musician in his
own right. Along with a variety of Ziggy's siblings, have
produced this movie.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, Ziggy's with us.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello come in Ziggy, Yeah, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hi, great to talk to you. Fabulous film. What an
interesting project for you and your siblings to take on.
Was a bit of sweet diving into your dad's life
in this way.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Bitter sweet. I don't think about it like that.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I think for me, we know, we know our lives,
we know our father lives.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So it was more of an adventure for us.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
It was something that was overly emotional because we already
dealt with the emotions of this we lived in it,
you know. So for Recreated, it was more like a
joyful adventure.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh good, great, because living in Jamaica in nineteen seventy
six it looked like a pretty dangerous place for a
little kid.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Oh no, well, no, Red, I mean it's the djurious,
but it is what we're used to, so we're not
really think We didn't even think about it. I mean
it was the durerous when you're look in retrospect, But
at the time, it was just life.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Because there's so much of your dad's life that I
didn't know. I knew the music, but his story is
so interesting. Is that one of the things that you
wanted to why you wanted to make this film.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah, we wanted to give people a more introspective side
above a more emotional side about that people don't really
know people.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know, people think.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Of him as a as a I kind of legend,
as like, you know, one of those Greek mythologists sometimes.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And he was so young when he passed Why so young?
So young?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I mean when I look back now, I realized that,
you know what I'm saying. When I was when I
was about twelve when he passed away, I didn't think
about it. But no, I'm so much old. I'm like
more than twenty years older than he was. Like, it's
you know, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And how was it doing this with your siblings? Have
you worked as a team before or was this new
to you?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
No, we used to have our group work together. We
all worked together from before. You know, we grew up
as a family. You want it really and we were
tired that we love each other. You know what I
mean even my father had children with outside of marriage,
and we weren't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We were tired to love them. We were tired to
love just love each other.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
My brother Steven is the music supervisor and make sure
the music's son good. My sister said that she came
in and she and Lashana was advocating for more proactiveness
in our mother's character and making sure, you know, some
of the cut, some of the costume designs and stuff
was right.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So we all had all different rules.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I like that scene where Bob ends up in London
in the seventies, right in the middle of that punk
the punk era, which is the furthest thing away from reggae,
and he's just wandering around Trafalgar Square, smoking a bit
of weed and just living life. But he it just
it looks so cool against the punks and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, well, I think you know what I understand was
that my father felt a comaraderie with the punks at
the time because they were like anti system, like the
same thing, like what Rasta was in Jamaica, the punk
was in England. Sam felt a comaragi and he had
this song hero called Punk to Reggae Party, which was
about its punks and reggae together in a in a
(03:28):
kind of revolutionary way.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Was there anything when you went about putting this project together,
anything you load about your dad that surprised you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I wouldn't put it that way or the way I
would put it is that it made me think about
things that surprise men, probably and thinking it made me
think about things that I never really thought about on
a deep level until now, which is what what you
know when when you see your father? I guess it's
a typical thing, your father to a son, to a
(03:59):
young child. The father is like this giant, you know,
this stone, this like you know, infallible type of person,
No farce, no thing. But what this film made me
think about was, Wow, the emotional thing that he must
have went through during this period of time, assassination, attempt,
his wife, getting shut in the head, leaving his homeland,
(04:23):
being diagnosed with cancer, having to move and having to work,
having to make music, having to come make a decision
to come back to Jamaica after all of that, For
him to come out that end of it and say
that if his life is for him, he doesn't want it.
I mean for human being to come to that conclusion.
You have to go through some stuff that is much
(04:44):
more inside than it is on the outside.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You know, certainly, and your dad certainly lived it, but
also his legacy just lives on. And it's such a
great movie. I really enjoyed it. One Lover is in
cinemas now. It's so great to talk.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
To you, Sy. I'm good to talk to you guys.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Thank you, take care, thank you.
