Events Details

The Bob Marley Tribute is an annual event sponsored by The West Indian Association of Indiana that allows fans of Marley, as well as fans of Caribbean music and cuisine, to come together in an atmosphere of "One Love."

Decades after his death, Bob Marley is still considered reggae music's most internationally known figure.  Marley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and holds a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.  He remains enormously popular in his homeland of Jamaica as well as all over the world, his style and sound influencing a new generation of musicians.  As we celebrate Black History Month, we pause to celebrate Bob Marley's birthday (Feb. 6), but most importantly we celebrate his vision of "one world, one love."

The event will include a live reggae performance by Universal Xpression.  Tickets are $20, $15 for students (must show college ID).  Tickets available at Patties of Jamaica, 5172 Allisonville Road, Indianapolis.  $5 from each ticket sold will be directed to Haiti relief efforts.

Caribbean food available for purchase.  Must be 21 or older for entry.

• Purdue University Caribbean Student Association
