A R R E dot Net Seventeen unbelievable podcasts are
waiting for you. Hello, and good morning. How are you
doing today?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
How are you absolutely excited to share a conversation with you?
Because I have always been so inspired by the storytelling,
the community, the outreach, everything that your family has been
involved in is about reaching people and bringing beauty to
their mind, body and soul.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Oh thank you for.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
That and for you guys to be in Vegas. That
just blows me away because now the world can come
to you and bring things forward with them as well.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Need some righteousness and since what you call it sin city.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
So true. But the thing about it is, though, is
that sin City is an attraction. It's a magnet. Sometimes
you got to walk into that in order to be,
you know, to reach what it is that you're trying
to accomplish. Facts, What is this journey like for you
in this moment of now, Because it just seems like
in everything that is going in every direction.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You're so focused, Well, you have to be focused. I'm
I'm a virgo analio, So I mean, and my focus
right now is Bob Moraley, Hope Rude. You know, it's
it's the place to be, you know, and so I'm
(01:39):
excited to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Let's do talk about that. Let's talk about how how
what what you're feeling on the inside of you is
going to become what we foresee as we grow forward.
Because anytime that that basically that we we we attract
ourselves to the music, to the storytelling, we carry it forward.
But it has to start somewhere, and it starts with
your family.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, yes, I mean, you know, inspiration is key, you know,
and that's what Hope Prode is, you know, it's inspired
by that is life, his music, the message of one love.
We wanted to create an immersive experience that connects audiences
(02:23):
to the legacy in a way that's entertaining, what's still meaningful,
you know, And I think nothing exists like that in
Vegas right now except for Bob Marley Hope Rode.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But you know what, you're using a word that is
not being seen or heard everywhere in the world, and
yet you plant it and I go, I feel it,
and that is hope, hope road I feel it. If
you're speaking hope, we will believe in hope and then
we can grow with hope.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's true, and I think that's the key, you know.
I think sometimes with everything that's happening in the world
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's easy to lose it, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
And when we lose hope, it's like you lose everything.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You lose, you lose your selling, and so we have
to we have to try and bring that back.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Speaking of hope and speaking of when you lose everything
in the world, I hope your family and everybody back
home in Jamaica. I hope that everybody is healing and
that we can grow together as a planet to bring
peace back into an area that was out of our control.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, you know, hurricanes happen and Jamaica we're used to it,
but we haven't.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We haven't seen this type of devastation before.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It's it's it's it's crazy, you know, it's really crazy.
And you hear the stories of the survivors, and then
you hear the stories of those who did not survive,
and it it touches your heart in a different way.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, and then you go through a hurricane, you don't
realize the after effects because if it falls off the
front page of the newspaper, people quit talking about it.
And yet we still inside this force that I stand
right now, still have the damage of Hurricane Hugo back
way way back in the nineteen nineties. But it's still
here and it doesn't go away. And that's why we
need music such as yours, and we need you know,
(04:20):
with with Hope road in order to have that hope
to reach beyond what we think we is going on now.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, and that's why you know, like us doing
this in Vegas, it meant it meant everything to us,
you know, because seeing that is a message of love
and you need to come alive in a.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
City like that. It's it's different, you know, when you
can bring people together who are just there to you know,
not just have a good time. But when you leave there,
you leave there, hey, with hope, you leave there being
more connected to that is music. Corporate isn't a experience
(05:00):
that lifts your spirit and it reminds, it reminds you,
it reminds me of what we all share, you know,
and it's really one love, you know, one love for
the music, one love for the man, one love for
his legacy, you know, one love for his belief, one
love for his spirit. And I think I think we've
(05:21):
captured that.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And you know what's so interesting what you just shared
with me and what my heart just picked up One
love for all. It's it's because anytime that we step
into this moment of one love, we feel like that
we're part of your community and your circle. And wow,
there's no judgment. Yeah, it's like come one, come all.
It's all about hope and love.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And what we're doing in Jamaica too, our initiative is
called one Love in Action. So when we go into
these neighborhoods, you know, and these communities you know, with food, water,
you know, tense clothing, you know, baby care, that's really
one love in action.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And it's like we didn't have to look too.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Far to say to ourselves, what are we gonna call
this movement?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Because that already gave it to us. Tis one loving action.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Please do not move. There's more with Sidela Marley coming
up next Bob Marley's Hope Road. We are back with
Sidela for you to be able to bring this all together.
I mean, I can't imagine what you're experiencing on that
live stage because I mean it's all about the presence
of everything right now and what's happening in the now,
(06:31):
and you are the one that we're all looking at.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, I mean, you know, Hopport is one of the
first of its kind production you know, lack performance storytelling.
We have multi sensory elements that immerse the audiences fully
into Dad's.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
World, you know, So it's not just a concert.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's really an interactive journey through his music, through his message,
and through the cultural impact that he's had, you know,
in this world.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So now, will will this grow beyond Vegas? Will you
travel the country? Because ZIGGI was just here not too
long ago, and it's like, no matter where you guys are,
there's always going to be hope. So we is it
going to stay in Vegas for a long time so
we can make those plans to be there?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Here?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It is I hope?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So yeah, I love your heart, yeah, because I mean
it's it's it's one of those things where it's like
we where there is hope, where there is love, we
shall follow and and to me, that's that's that's what
it's all about. It's like, if someone's going to show
(07:43):
us this way, then let's do it together as one.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah. And that's the thing about that is music.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You know, it carries that universal theme of love, unity, hope, strength, courage, peace, change.
You know, people from all backgrounds really connect with that
is music in a in a way where I'm not
(08:10):
seen that type of connection with other artists, you know,
and I think it's because he was coming from a
pure place. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
He sang about his life experiences, he sang about other
people's life experiences. When when he can turn Harley Selassie's
speech into into a song, you know and call it war,
it is a certain type of genius can do things
(08:41):
like that.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You know. It's not that every day Matt can just say,
you know what, let me just take this speech that
maybe listen to this. Now. Maybe we don't know how
many people it's reached at that time when Harley Selassi
did this speech, but now we know that song has
reached trillions of people, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And that's what's cool about my father, you know, he
can he can do that.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I just love that when when your father's music comes on,
we stop, we listen. We guide ourselves in a new
direction that that it doesn't matter what mood you're in,
you will feel whole when you step into the world
of Bob Marley's music.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, there's there's a Bob for every day. There's a
Bob for every Yes, Yeah, there's there's a Bob for
every every feeling. You know, there's a Bob. There's there's
just a Bob.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You know. It's like you can't have a conversation with
him without without you know, talking with him, you know,
because he's he's actually telling you what to do and
how to feel, and how to fight and how to
love and how to change.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, where can people go to find out more about
Bob Marley Hope Road Because I want people to really
embrace this in more than just listening to a conversation
between the two of us. I want them to participate
with everything that you're hanging forward.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Bob Marleyhopewroad dot com.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And if you want to check out the stuff that
we're doing, you know, for the hurricane relief, you can
go to Bob Marley Foundation dot org.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Now let me ask you a personal question here, and
I know I'm going overboard, I probably am. But the
is there is there anything that people can can send
money to to help out, because you know how we are.
We're sitting here in our own little areas, but we
want to help invest in the future of recovery.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, Bob Marley, Bob and Rita Marley Foundation has a
go fund, so you can go there and see it.
And we actually partner with go fund for this initiative.
And I must say it's it's it's doing good and
we're gonna be able to do you know, We're gonna
be able to do things that is not just you see,
what this tragedy has taught us is that our infrastructure
(10:47):
is weak.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yep, you know it's weak.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And it's something that I feel like the government should
have known for a long long time. It's not our
first hurricane, it's probably our one hundred hurricane. So when
you can't see it wipe out entire communities, then you
know we have to do better.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And that's what we plan to do with this goalfundme.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
As far as infrastructure, that's where I think we're going
to be more effective in bringing about those type of
changes to these communities.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Please come back to this show anytime in the future.
The door is always going to be open for you.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
