Reggae star rocks Tel Aviv ahead of his daughter's bat mitzvah in Jerusalem this weekend
Ziggy Marley strode quietly onto a tiny Tel Aviv stage Tuesday evening with his nine-piece band and knee-length dreadlocks, his humility belying the sheer talent that enthralled his fans for the next two hours.
Shalom Tel Aviv. Rastafari. OK lets do this, he said as the band launched into I Will Be Glad from his latest album Rebellion Rises.
Playing just a few days ago to tens of thousands of European fans at Rockpalast in Germany, Marley brought the same energy and intensity to the few thousand in the packed Barby Club in Tel Aviv. Jogging in place incessantly and occasionally shadowboxing as he played, he kept the crowd entertained from start to finish.
Marley has a personal connection to the country through his Israeli wife, Orly. The singers family has joined Marley for this leg of the tour and on Saturday will celebrate the bat mitzvah of the couples daughter Judah Victoria, in Jerusalem.
