The Wailers

The Wailers are a Jamaican reggae and ska band that was formed in 1963, with Bob Marley as the lead singer/songwriter. The group released its first EP, The Wailing Wailers, in 1965, featuring the very popular song “Simmer Down.” The band went on to become one of the most influential recordings artists of all time, selling more than 75 million records including albums such as Burnin’, Natty Dread and Rastaman Vibration. The Wailers’ music brought together aspects of roots reggae, ska, rocksteady and dub with elements from jazz, gospel, Latin and other genres to create an upbeat yet conscious sound. The international success of The Wailers gave rise to other greats in the reggae music scene like Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The legacy continues today with various incarnations of group members still performing The Wailers’s memorable songs internationally.
