Jack guides Ziggy through a conversation about the genre\u2019s legends, and together they explore some of the artists who helped define reggae from its earliest days.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion begins with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, who, alongside Bob Marley, formed The Wailers in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1963. From those Jamaican roots, the conversation travels through time to other pivotal voices in the genre, including Toots Hibbert and Burning Spear. Along the way, Ziggy reflects on the powerful role community played in shaping reggae and driving its message from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p>The episode also turns to Ziggy\u2019s work as a producer on the biopic Bob Marley: One Love, which tells the story of his father\u2019s life and legacy. Jack and Ziggy discuss the unique power of music in film, highlighting figures like Jimmy Cliff, who starred in one of the first Jamaican feature films to introduce reggae music to a global audience.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"228119\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/ziggy-marley-teaches-us-how-to-listen-to-reggae\/ziggy-marley-teaches-us-how-to-listen-to-reggae\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae.avif\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ziggy Marley Teaches Us How to Listen to Reggae\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae-1024x576.avif\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae-540x304.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"304\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-228119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae-540x304.avif 540w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae-1024x576.avif 1024w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae-768x432.avif 768w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ziggy-Marley-Teaches-Us-How-to-Listen-to-Reggae.avif 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week on the Track Star Podcast, Ziggy Marley joins us to talk about his&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-228118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interviews","category-lifestyle"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-Xlk","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228118"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":228120,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228118\/revisions\/228120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
