Finally, the album Bob Marley: One Love – Music Inspired By the Film seems to be the favorite to win the golden gramophone this year, because it is linked to the reggae legend and his successful biographical film.
This album of 10 tracks offers new interpretations of Marley's iconic songs, with artists like Daniel Caesar, Kacey Musgraves, Wizkid, Leon Bridges, Shenseea, Farruko, Jessie Reyez, Mystic Marley, Bloody Civilian y Skip Marley.
This year the award for Best Reggae Album went to Julian Marley y Antaeus “Echoes of Sound Systems – When the Two 7’s Clash” is presented as the Sound Clash to end all the sound clashes that will compete for the first major Colors of Royal.
