Watch the animated video for Bob Marley's 'Redemption Song,' in honor of the track's 40th anniversary and the late legend's 75th birthday.
Created by French artists Octave Marsal and Theo De Gueltzl, the clip features nearly 3,000 original drawings that represent the song’s message of emancipation. Jamaican imagery fills the screen as a powerful lion wears a crown, eventually growing wings and flying away from a kingdom. Marley can be seen strumming an acoustic guitar filled with flowers.
“From the history of Slavery and Jamaica, Rastafarian culture, legacy of prophets , as well as Bob’s personal life, we take the audience on a journey through allegories and representations,” the artists said in a statement.. He died the following year from cancer. The clip is the first installment of “Marley75,” a year-long celebration of the late reggae legend’s birthday, who would have turned 75 years old on February 6th.
