Stephen Marley Celebrates Nina Simone | Women Revisit in Reggae Style

Celebrating International Women’s Month Stephen Marley and his Ghetto Youths International label, reveal the album artwork created by WonderKnack and track listing for the upcoming EP, “Celebrating Nina: Reggae Tribute to Nina Simone.”

“Her protest through her music is one that can resonate with people all around the world. Through her music, you could hear her activism and her strength, and each woman on this EP really highlighted the fortitude of a woman, which Nina Simone so beautifully showcased in her music” states Stephen Marley.

With a fervor to enlighten his audience and the lovers of music, multi-Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and producer, Stephen Marley has produced a one drop reggae EP paying homage to Nina Simone. Each song on this seven track EP, was previously recorded by Nina Simone and beautifully delivered by each woman selected for this EP.

For Etana “Nina Simone is a great black woman who have made significant contributions, she inspired many through her song and story. I certainly think it’s important to note her and contribution and her role in the civil rights movement. When teaching about Dr. Martin Luther King, it’s important to note that music played a big role in influencing black people to join and fight for equality”.
