The Season 2 Debut of Rootsland begins as Host Henry K recounts the dramatic and pivotal moment in Bob Marley's life when he survived an assassination attempt in 1976. Amidst the chaos of gunfire at his home in Kingston, Marley and his band faced a life-threatening situation that would forever change their trajectory. The narrative highlights Marley's extraordinary courage as he chose to perform just days later, despite his wounds, at a concert aimed at uniting a divided Jamaica. In this show Henry K explores the themes of resilience, hope, and the healing power of music, emphasizing Marley's message of love and unity amidst adversity. The episode culminates in a reflection on Marley's enduring legacy and the profound impact of his music in inspiring social change across generations when Henry is summoned to the hallowed ground by Bob's widow "Sister Rita." There at 56 Hope Rd. a simple goodbye turns into a dire warning.

Rootsland is produced by Henry K Productions Inc. in association with Voice Boxx Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.
