Soul Rebel

An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley.

On assignment in Jamaica for Time magazine, photojournalist David Burnett first photographed Bob

Marley in 1976 and continued to document the reggae legend on the Exodus tour throughout Europe

during the spring of 1977. Burnett’s vision coupled with Marley’s larger-than-life charisma resulted in this amazing collection of previously unseen images.

Caught at an exceptional moment in time, Burnett’s work intersects with both the zenith of Marley’s

career and the traumatic upheaval of his flight from Jamaica after an attempt on his life. While focusing on Marley’s native Jamaica, including Portraits of Peter Tosh, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Burning Spear, and Ras Michael.

Honours the 60th anniversary of Bob Marley’s birth with a testament to the legacy of a legend.

For any reggae lover or music history buff Soul Rebel offers a matchless glimpse into Marley’s life shortly before his tragic death in 1981.

Includes nearly 200 images some of which are previously unseen images.
