The village Banatski Sokolac, was host recently to musicians from Croatia and Serbia. The musicians were joined by rock fans for the unveiling of a statue of Bob Marley, the late Jamaican-born reggae star.
The statue is a symbol of peace - as the organizers put it: "(Marley) promoted peace and tolerance in his music."
Serbian musician, Jovan Matic, and Croatian rocker Dado Topic, unveiled the Marley statue at the Rock Village event.
The statue was created by the Croatian artist Davor Dukic and is believed to be the first monument in Europe dedicated to memory and legend of Bob Marley.
Marley was a superb musician and lyricist. His music and message continues to have a powerful appeal. The statue might help bring some of that magic into a part of the world that has been plagued with ethnic hatred and violence.
“Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.” (Bob Marley).
