Bob Marley & The Wailers

Kaya Bob Marley & The Wailers Audiophile edition

On “Kaya” – a word from Jamaican Patois meaning “grass” or “hemp” – Marley continued an unspoken tradition that had developed throughout the Wailers' discography: the fusion of Western sounds and motifs with the iconic traditions of Jamaican society. To date, nearly 1.6 million copies of “Kaya” have been sold! The album's success was reflected in six platinum and three gold certifications. “Kaya” presents an more accessible version of Bob Marley. Lyrically, the songs eschewed the political commentary and Rastafarian philosophies that were prominent in “Natty Dread” and “Rastaman Vibration”.
