Bob Marley’s family on reimagining One Love One Heart

Daughter of late Bob Marley expressed her opinions on the new rendition of the song in UNICEF’s statement. She said, “Over forty years ago, my father wrote One Love about unity, peace, and universal love during a time when there was much trouble in the world. Even in a time when we aren’t able to get together, his message remains true today, we can get through this global crisis if we come together through one love and one heart,”.

The song was originally recorded in 1977 by late Bob Marley and the Wailers. The song is considered one of the most iconic songs which give the message of coming together as one. The money raised from this will be used by UNICEF to respond to the immediate needs of providing soap, masks, gloves, hygiene kits, protective equipment, and life-saving information for children and families during the current pandemic.
