Peter Tosh’s daughter Niambe says they’re seeking recognition from the Jamaican Government to make her dad a national hero.

In an exclusive interview with Music News, Niambe Tosh says the Peter Tosh Estate aims to reinforce the late singer’s presence on the island. 

 

The event celebrating Peter Tosh’s life, work and legacy is staged by IRIE FM and the Peter Tosh Foundation is slated to take place in Belmont, Westmorland on February 26.

The tribute to Peter Tosh in celebration of Jamaica’s 50th, Reggae, and Black History month will run from 6AM to 12 noon on the Running African with Andrea Williams-Green and Mutabaruka.

Without a shadow of a doubt. our heros should be the ones who did not sell their souls for so-called in-di-pen-dence. National hero status must be reserved for Marley, Peter Tosh, Garvey, Sam sharpe, paul bodle, Nanny and all those who reached out to free I people from their mental chains. hail up Peter Tosh Ethiopia Salaam. Nejeru Rastafari is: Lord of lords and Saviour. Peter Tosh.

The family should be aware that Alexander Bustamante the murderer is the one that ordered the massacre of Rastas in the Carol Garden Massacre in 1963. This murderer Bustamante is a so-called national hero. So-called heroes like Norman Manley and Bustamante are only known in Jamaica. The stepping razor (Peter Tosh) is known and celebrated all over the world. This brethren along with great men like Garvey, Livingston, & Marley put Jamaica on the map.

Marie you are damn evil and it is clear. You have truely been brainwashed. Peter tosh made music to uplift the people in a time when there was almost no hope. He was a true revolutionary not just in his music but in his way of life. long live Peter Tosh the stepping raiser another mis understood messenger of the mosiah. Natioal Hero or not he will always live on through his music and his philosifies.

When u live in the west ,u don't have to live in a gated community .But in Africa u do !! Is this something on T.V .and it was the artist who drew the world attention to the situation in south Africa which lead to the dismantling of apartide, and the release of mandela from prison .the national anthem of zimbagwe is a Jamaican sing it ,why u believe mugabe use it ..him use it fi show the rest of Africa say them been sleeping to long. Markus garvey say unity is strength that's all mi ave fi say.the killing in Africa in much greater than that of Jamaica ,and more brutal too so don't even bother to go there. U wah know why mi have to live in American ,because mi ancestor them left me here ,them never get fi enjoy the fruit of there labour so mi ave fi live some a the dream.What's the difference between black Americans ,and any other black man!!!?

About IRIE FM

The station officially went on air on August 1, 1990. Reggae in the morning, Reggae in the evening, Reggae in the night was the cry. Critics said it was impossible to sustain a 24-hour Reggae music station. In fact, so strong was the impact, it proved that this format was something the Jamaican public yearned for. The 'little station that could' got all media houses in Jamaica to stand up and take note.
