In 1980 after Zimbabwe finally gained their independence, as a supporter, Marley felt that he should be a central part of the celebration. He personally financed the celebration arrangements costing him over US$90,000. Bob Marley used his music in order to get directly involved with the Zimbabwe Liberation Movement. His song Zimbabwe spoke of personal rights, judgement, and getting through the struggle together. The song didn’t only reach Zimbabwe, the liberating anthem hit the hearts of those in many other African nations. Watch the Marley’s performance at the Zimbabwe Independence Celebration here:
