Bob Marley & The Wailers satisfy our souls with a stirring celebration of 40 years of KAYA. KAYA 40 features the album reimagined & remixed by Stephen Marley, paired with the original 1978 mix in this stunning Anniversary edition. Available as 2CD & 2LP versions.
2018 marks the 40th Anniversary of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ KAYA. Recorded in part during Marley’s and the band’s 1977 exile in London, KAYA is very much the sibling record to EXODUS. Fittingly, as Ziggy Marley revisited the original session recordings for last year’s EXODUS 40 celebration, this year sibling Stephen Marley revisits the original session recordings to commemorate KAYA, bringing a fresh perspective to this suite that’s quietly referred to as the ‘Peace Treaty’ album.
As EXODUS and KAYA are sibling albums, so have they been reimagined by siblings—Ziggy helmed EXODUS 40 (2017) and Stephen helmed KAYA 40. Sometimes quietly referred to as the ‘Peace Treaty’ album, KAYA was issued after a truce was forged between the warring political gangs in Kingston, making it safe for Marley to return to Jamaica. This set the stage for Marley to hold the One Love Peace Concert, where he famously brought political rivals Prime Minister Michael Manley and opposition leader Edward Seaga on stage to hold hands in unity.
