FOR the third year, Emancipation Park in St Andrew comes alive  when telecoms company Digicel, hosts a free concert to celebrate the life and  works of reggae icon Bob Marley.

The concert — scheduled for a 6 pm start on Thursday, February 7 — will boast some of the music industry’s top acts.

The concert forms part of Digicel’s partnership with the Bob  Marley Foundation to deliver a month-long series of activities planned to  celebrate the King of Reggae.

“We are definitely appreciative of the support we have been  getting from Digicel. This year we choose the theme Survival and we think this  is such a fitting theme based on the crisis that the world is facing. We want to  encourage our people to drive to be survivors,” Stephanie Marley, director of  the Bob Marley Foundation.

The line-up includes Digicel brand ambassadors I-Octane, Jermaine  Edwards, Tifa. Other acts include Capelton, Luciano, Chinna Smith, Inna Di Yard,  Chronixx, Ikaya and the Haile Selassie Choir, Nadine Sutherland, Leroy Sibbles  and Hempress Sativa.
