Posted on by swadedavillain

Last year, we highlighted that come 2024, an official Biopic on the life of the late Reggae legend Bob Marley will be released. Titled “Bob Marley: One Love”, we shared that a number of prominent names in Jamaican music will make their acting debuts as key characters. One name, who will also play a key character, wasn’t announced until recently. His name is Alex Gallimore, but the music scene knows him as Alexx A-Game.

Alexx A-Game will make his acting debut in the long-awaited “Bob Marley: One Love” Film. Playing the role of the legendary Peter Tosh, A-Game knows that his role is very important as the late Tosh was a founding member of The Wailers along with Marley and the late Bunny Wailer, and an iconic figure in Reggae Music. “I’m still searching for words to express the feeling,” shared an ecstatic A-Game in a recent Instagram post. “I’m more than honored to be a part of the telling of the legendary story of BOB MARLEY. It has been a life changing experience. Thanks to Avy Kaufman, Reinaldo Marcus-Green, Ziggy Marley, and Paramount Pictures and the rest of the team for trusting me with the role of an iconic and legendary figure such as ‘Peter Tosh’. I got a chance to work with some of the most amazing people in Film/Production who are now family.“

Alexx A-Game, a former member of the Blu Print Band, has been an active as a solo Artist since the early 2010s, releasing a number of singles including “A-Game Everyday“, “Double” featuring Tory Lanez, “Rise Up Now“, “Go Harder“, and a couple Mixtapes including “Real ‘N’ True Vol. 1“. An Artist and Producer under his New Level Music Group label, he looks to release a number of singles this year including “More Life” on January 19, and increase his presence as a Creative.

Jimmy Cliff’s hit single “Reggae Night” was thrown into the running. The single was produced by Amir Bayyan, Jim Bonnefond, and Ronald Bell, and was written by Bayyan and La Toya Jackson. This single was also featured on the Artist’s 1983 Album, “The Power And The Glory”. It went on to be one of Cliff’s biggest hits.

Make The @PeterTosh Memorial Garden A National Historic Landmark!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, the Estate of the late Peter Tosh released a petition in efforts to have the Jamaican Tourist Board and the Government of Jamaica register The Peter Tosh Memorial Garden a National Historic Landmark. The Museum, located in Belmont, Westmoreland, was erected to preserve the life and legacy of the late Musician and original member of The Wailers. The Estate believes that recognizing the Museum as a Historic Landmark will protect it for generations as Tosh was an advocate for the legalization of Marijuana, fought for Equal Rights, and further expanded Jamaica’s Music and Culture.

Peter Tosh was born in Grange Hill, Westmoreland in 1944 and was known as a Musician, Reggae Artist, and Activist. He was a core member of The Wailers along with the late Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer where he received much success before embarking a solo career. He has collaborated with the likes of Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones and recorded many great songs including “Stepping Razor“, “Legalize It“, “Johnny B Goode“, and penned songs such as “Get Up, Stand Up” and “400 Years” for The Wailers. Peter Tosh died on September 11, 1987 as a result of a home invasion. He was posthumously awarded the Order Of Merit in October 2012.

The Peter Tosh Memorial Garden petition can be found here.
