*Ky-mani Marley & Andrew Tosh *








The legacy that a father leaves to his son is the principle behind the new 
tribute album "Legacy", that Andrew Tosh, son of  legendary Peter Tosh, 
just released.To celebrate & remember his father,a reggae pioneer and 
the Legacy he left him, Andrew Tosh choosed a title, "Lessons In My Life"
which his father already used forasong in his last album,No Nuclear War.
"Lessons In My Life" is the lead single from the album and it features also
the voice of Ky-mani Marley, son of legendary Bob Marley.
It is the very first time that the offspring of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley are collaborating together in a track, that combines some original elements 
of  the original track with Andrew's modern interpretation.
You can hear the congo drums, guitars and even violins as well as sample 
taken from the original song. The whole album is crafted nicely and i do
wonder if like their fathers these young artists will take on their shoulders 
the will to change Humanity for the better.Bunny Wailer is on the album
too.Andrew Tosh and Ky-mani Marley are touring together, currently  in
West Africa and they were together as well during these past months  of 
October and November 2010 touring South America.
Andrew Tosh also recently performed in the city of Brasilia,Brasil,
in front of 12,000 people.
