Show LOVE | Partnership Opportunities

Nine Mile Music Festival (formerly Marley Fest) Miami. Fla.


There is instant appreciation for Bob Marley and reggae music – amongst Rastafarian, but on a larger scale, the entire world. Before all others, Bob Marley truly transcended race, and culture. He has consistently remained in the top ten of best selling musical artists among those who died, according to Forbes Magazine. Why? It came right down to his message – message of oneness and global unity – One Love.

We see the world moving in this direction today – the crumbling of walls and demise of dictatorships. This is a movement Bob Marley has been singing about to millions around world for for years now.

Help spread the love. Help perpetuate Bob’s message of One Love. Help RasTa help.

Help promote a rapidly expanding global community – one that freely shares thoughts, ideas, info, content based on Bob’s Rastafarian message of peace and love. Support this online social exchange, but also flaunt your presence at offline receptions, screenings and free-to-the-public mass events.

RasTa invites strategic partnerships with corporations to develop creative ways of maximizing the awareness of their partnering brands — in step with the film’s events and release schedule and worldwide audience outreach.

Big It Up | 15 Years!

Big it Up Celebrates 15 years!

Big it Up — the expression defines the company: to show respect, to give support, to take pride, to value quality. Big It Up, is about all these things, about bringing you an attitude and a philosophy, along with the slamminest hats and accessories. Cause if you don’t have the right attitude, then what you wear isn’t going to get you where you gotta go.

Big It Up grew out of the streets of Toronto, Canada and came into being in the summer of 1996, the result of a unique collaboration. A group of friends got together. Tired of the same old same old, they were fed up with the mediocrity of so much of what was on the market. Just too many second-rate goods that reflected second-rate thinking and a lack of respect for a public that deserves better. They recognized in themselves a yearning for quality and we knew that if we felt that way, then others must too. They knew that if people saw quality, they’d respond to it, they’d respect it, be proud of it, they’d “big it up.”

And that is just what happened. Their company has been growing rapidly, but no amount of growth will allow them to lose their commitment to the principles that made them popular in the first place. At Big It Up, the quality of their products speaks for itself, and that quality — the finest fabrics, painstaking attention to details of design, material, color and fit — is matched by the quality of service and the quality of environment they share with you, in their stores, at their kiosks and on their website.

When you see the Big It Up team, you see the face of Toronto, the world’s most multicultural city. They are people from every corner of the globe — Africa, Asia, India, the Caribbean, the Philippines, Europe — all working under the same roof, working the way people are supposed to; namely, together. Black, white, young and old, male and female, the differences make all the difference and no difference at all. And out of this great mix comes the Big It Up style.

Big It Up provides financial and other support to various literacy and educational programs in Canada. What goes around comes around, and we’d like to see you around.

London, UK — Donisha visits landmarks and communities, which would have been familiar to her grandfather. She visits with notable Rastafarians, business success, artists and personalities, who populate these spaces and communities today. Many are able to offer anecdotes of Bob Marley’s early presence London, early activism against racism and social unrest in the 70’s – hopes and dreams against the realities similar conditions in Jamaica. Rastafari provided a spiritual escape and source of black pride? These discussions are juxtaposed against black life today in London – observations on how things have changed and how they have not.

Alborosie | “Kingston Town”

Alborosie, born Alberto D’Ascola in 1977, is a regae artist born in Marsala – Sicily, Italy, but now residing in Kingston, Jamaica. He is a multi-instrumentalist, being proficient in guitar, bass, drums and piano. His musical career began in the Italian reggae band Reggae National Tickets, from Bergamo city, when he was 15 years old in 1993, in which he was known as Stena.

In 2001 Alborosie decided to try a solo career. He moved to Jamaica to be close to reggae music’s roots and Rastafari culture. There, he started working as sound engineer and producer. He has also worked with artists like Gentleman, Ky-Mani Marley. His first solo album was called Soul Pirate. In the summer of 2009 he released his second album, “Escape from Babylon. In August 2008 Alborosie played at the Uppsala Reggae Festival.

The name ‘Alborosie’ comes from a name he was given in his early years in Jamaica. “Borosie was what they used to call me. Let me put it like this. My early experience in Jamaica was… not nice. Borosie was a name they used to call me and it have a negative meaning. So I said “I’m gonna use this name and mash up the place turn a negative into a positive thing!”. Basically my name is Albert so I add “Al” – Al-borosie. But I’m not gonna tell you what borosie mean!”

Alborosie’s hits include “Rastafari Anthem”, “Kingston Town”, and “Call Up Jah”. Alborosie recently started his own record label, Forward Recordings. He has given concerts all round the world, including most of Europe and Jamaica.
