Kaya [Bonus Tracks] [Remaster] by Bob Marley/Bob Marley & the Wailers

Pros: Some classic tunes here
Cons: A few mediocre songs in the bunch; Not many political messages

Reggae music has its share of talented musicians. Originating on the Caribbean island of Jamaica, reggae is known for its softer musical arrangements, varied percussion, and other musical sounds that make it the unique type of music that it is. The ...

Pros: Glistening production, spirited and joyous recordings.
Cons: No political songs, if that's your thing.

So, summer is at last on the way. Long days of sun and balmy evenings, barbecues and lying on a lawn with a glass of your favourite tipple, t-shirts and shorts, and a stereo happily playing your favourite tunes. What you’re going to need is a summer ...

Pros: Towering first half
Cons: Less than decent second half

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS' Kaya, on surface, rides a relaxed groove and bears thematic similarity. But large portions of its content were harshly assembled from old tapes. Caught between MARLEY's 1977 assassination attempt by muggers, which ...

Pros: Full of Bob's most sentimental music.
Cons: Lacking in the kind of political genius found on Survival.

Kaya, released in 1978, is Bob Marley's least political album; practically the polar opposite of his 1979 release, Survival. Fans who I've talked to tend to either love Kaya, and consider it one of their favorites, or really can't sta ...

Pros: Smooth rhythms, several good tracks
Cons: A couple duds

A mellow offering by the reggae master Bob Marley, this great record will please again and again. Released in 1978, it shows a much softer side of Bob than 1974’s Natty Dread. The love songs seem sweeter and the
protest songs not quite as...

Pros: Excellent songs of faith, love and freedom
Cons: none

I love Reggae music and Bob Marley is truely a genuis at delievering the best spirtiual and freedom fighting songs of this decade. Love songs inspired come to us as " Is this love" or "She's gone". These songs will melt your heart,...

Pros: classic Bob Marley from the old days
Cons: bad quality at times

Bob Marley is not a reggae artist - he IS reggae. Kaya is one of his older albums, and many people fail to listen to it, and other classics. This one is equally good as many of his later albums, although nothing can compare to hits like "No woman no...

Pros: uplifting
Cons: too short

This was the first Marley record I bought. The track "sun is shining" kept on playing in my head, and soon afterwards the rest of the songs followed suit.
These are a collection of love songs, inspired by what many believe to be marijuana. But that's not really important. This album is about love and acceptance.Really great!
