Catch a Fire: A Tribute to Bob Marley and the Wailers

Part of Voicelab

Wednesday 24 October 2012

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jamaican Independence, Jazz Jamaica All Stars and Urban Soul Orchestra, with special guest Brinsley Forde (Aswad), have created a sensational new interpretation of Bob Marley and the Wailers' groundbreaking and iconic album scored for 30-piece orchestra and also featuring a choir from Southbank Centre's Voicelab.

Originally released in 1973, 'Catch A Fire' announced the arrival of Jamaica's first global superstar, and this melodic, dynamic musical tribute makes the flames burn even brighter.

This event is at the very heart of the national Lively Up! Festival, produced by Dune Music in association with Tomorrow's Warriors.

Voicelab is a Southbank Centre initiative supported by Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
