Kaya,
Bob Marley and the Wailers 7th record, is a collection of
love songs and an homage to the healing powers of
ganja. Released to coincide with
BMW´s first first world tour and in anticipation of the 1978
One Love Peace concert.
The record moves Bob into more commercial territory. Bob was becoming an international star and was trying to transform his music into something everybody could appreciate.
"Kaya means herb. It's a password some of the brethren use in JA. So Kaya is really dealing with togetherness and humanity and peace, (because) the thing of peace travel through the earth now. Yes, ´
Rastaman Vibrations and
Exodus were 'arder. This time we dealing with something softer." - Bob Marley
