With less than four weeks to go before the inauguration of the “Iumi Wan Festival” organized by Rebelle Inc, Julian Marley, son of Bob Marley has sent in a video of his excitement and a shout out to citizens of Solomon Islands.
In the short video, which has been shared virally amongst fans in Honiara on Facebook and is now available on Youtube, Julian Marley exclaims, “It’s all about the 8th of January at the Honiara University (S.I.N.U)”.
Julian ends the clip with “one love, one aim and one destiny to all the people, brothers and sisters out there – unity is the solution”, a message that is quintessential to the significance of the ‘Iumi Wan Festival’ and complies strongly with his music as well as his late father, Bob Marley.
