如果只能找一个人来代表牙买加，那这个人一定非鲍勃-马利（Bob Marley，1945-1981）非属。鲍勃-马利，一位贫穷白人中年男子和一名黑人未成年少女的儿子，牙買加唱作歌手，雷鬼樂鼻祖。他將牙買加雷鬼樂（Reggae）帶往歐美流行音樂及搖滾樂的領域，成功將牙買加雷鬼樂傳入西方，對西方流行音樂產生巨大的影響，後世尊稱他為雷鬼樂之父。他以充滿激情、力量、鬥志的灵魂之聲，获誉「首位第三世界的流行巨星」，實踐了音樂無國界的理念。鲍勃-马利只活了36岁，但他的唱片销量达七千五百万，是史上最畅销艺术家之一。而作為反種族主義的音樂鬥士，他長期致力於牙買加社會運動，他的音樂包含寬容、博愛及信仰，至今仍被國民視為牙買加的民族英雄。作为一名歌手，他在1976年十二月被枪手袭击而受伤，可见其政治影响力之大。（综合自维基）

这组照片是在鲍勃-马利出生地附近的贫穷村庄所拍。鲍勃-马利是一位诗人，歌手，哲人。。。他说过的话至今常被人引用。以下是一些他的名言原文（http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/25241.Bob_Marley）

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. "
