They were very popular in Jamaica.

Reggae in the 1960s

Reggae was invented in Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1960s. Bob Marley created his own style of reggae. His songs make us want to dance, but they have a serious message: they talk about fighting for freeedom from oppression.

Success begins

In 1972, the Wailers recorded their first album, Caht a Fire, and toured Britian and the USA in 1973. They were the support act for another group. but the Wailers were fired after four shows: they were more popular than the main group.

No Woman, No Cry

In 1974, the original Wailers broke up, but Bob Marley countinued recordin with other musicians and kept the group's name. They had their first UK top 40 hit with the single "No waman, No Cry", in 1975. People everywhere loved reggae!

Bob Marley was a Rastafarian. this is a kind of religion or way of life. He was also vegetarian. You hear Bob's beliefs in the words of his songs.

Rastacap Bob Marley fans often wear a "rastacap", a crocheted cap also called a "tam".

A Brave Rescue!

the rescue happened while I was in Platja D'aro last weekend. It was a really amazing and dangerous. I was lucky to set a photo. 

I was with my family and we were at the beach. We were playing badminton when we saw two boys on the sea. they were shouting. There were two jellyfish behind them. Then we saw a windsurfer and he rescued them.

The wind surfer take the two boys on the windsurf to the beach. He was very brave because jellyfish are very dangerous.

A memorable day

I remember my family dinner. It was a memorable day.

First, a lot of people to my family  came to our house. At 12 0'clock we wento to a the church for the mass, and after that we went to my grandparent's house. We had lunch there and then the party started at abaout 5 o'clock. There was an amazind band and everybody danced. Finally, at about midnight, I went home. 

There were the family.  It was a really fun day and I felt very happy.
