Zuri Marley - Natural Mystic/Jammin cover
I share here the cover of the Jammin song by Bob Marley performed by his granddaughter.
as we can see friends is the same song but this girl uses a totally different musical rhythm to conventional reggae
I'm also going to share Bob's original song to compare and make a difference.
This song was one of the most successful of Jamaican superstar Bob Marley with his band The Wailers, published in 1977 as part of the Exodus album.
In Jamaican jargon, the word jamming refers to dancing very close together during a celebration to the rhythm of the music and also (mainly from the cultural aspect) that the song talks about marijuana. Jammin is traditionally a game for smoking pot.
