CARRYING FORWARD A LEGACY
Donisha is carrying forward her illustrious grandfather Bob Marley’s legacy as a musician as well as a Rastafarian (Rastafari is an Abrahamic religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s.) She admits that it gets taxing due to constant travelling and she misses out on family time as well as important occasions. “At the same time, I don’t think I’d want to be giving my youth to anything else at this point. I don’t aspire to do things that the society expects of me. I’m not waiting to be successful because we already are when it comes to practising greater humanity. That’s success as far as I am concerned,” the 34-year-old artiste adds. Ask her what her favourite song by Bob is and she instantly sings, “Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights...”, the song by the same name from the 1973 album Burnin’. Africa Unite (Survival, 1979) is another track that she likes, both in line with the philosophy of reggae.
