Introduction
Bob Marley had the purpose to liberate every black man through a message that touches the heart and minds of all people.
Throughout my research, I show what Bob Marley was significant that both the people of Jamaica to Africa and spreading a message of hope while making known his music also used it as a means of expression and release.
Ialso want to tell how important it was Bob Marley, who was responsible for expanding the Rastafarian culture, and thanks to him, is now known and established in different parts of the world, thanks to the music of Bob Marley, this culture today is recognized at both nationally and internationally.
Another point that I will develop in my research is the point controversial that contains thisculture. This is the marijuana.

Objective

Justification
Today, the Rastafarian Movement has approximately one million followers world-wide. In the 1970s the movement found new followers among fans of Reggae music, especially those of pop star Bob Marley. It is considered a more liberal, loosely structured religion than othersin the Abrahamic tradition, and some followers insist it is more a way of life than a religion, as is evidenced by the movement finding adherents among nations as diverse as Japan, Russia and indigenous New Zealanders, the Maoris. However, common to all these Rastafarian groups is the use of cannabis, the wearing of dreadlocks, and the colors red, green and gold.
