The day 17th June 1980 was one of those that we usually recall as unforgettable ... at the end of the afternoon I was heading to the Gröner Lund, a park in Stockholm to register the concert scheduled for the evening, Bob Marley & The Wailers.

My first idea was to photograph that group of Jamaicans who had revolutionized the music scene worldwide, and especially the picture of their mythical leader, one of the most striking characters of twentieth century’s second half. But when, moments before the concert, positioned between the stage and audience, the space reserved for the press, I began to realize that the public who gathered in my face was like the realization of many of the messages of that composer. That little crowd, united different races, tribes, generations ... united two decades, which later proved to be so different. In the midst of these thoughts the show began ... then the music sediments this communion, and I was sure that besides shooting the show itself, I should take advantage of that stubborn Scandinavian spring sun, and also register the realization of that powerful message that was coming by the loud speakers ... "One love, one heart."

Unfortunately, little more than three months after, the city of Pittsburgh, USA, would held the closure of the Uprising Tour, which would be the last of this great artist. The publication of this material, which remained unpublished for nearly thirty years, is a tribute to this man and his demands, increasingly current in our days, for peace and unity.
