Throughout the 1990s, the West African country of Sierra Leone was wracked with a bloody, horrifying war that forced millions to flee their homes. The musicians that would eventually form Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars are all originally from Freetown, but were forced to leave the capital city at various times after violent rebel attacks. Reuben Koroma, founder of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, explores the connection between Bob Marley and the All Stars as cultural ambassadors and representatives for those without a voice.
Listen to the All Stars’ amazing, African-infused rendition of “No Woman, No Cry,” recorded exclusively for Tribute to a Reggae Legend. Please do visit their website too.
