Rita Marley, as wife of Bob Marley, key member of his
I-Three backing vocal group, and long-time recording artist
in her own right, was dubbed "The Queen of Reggae" in the wake of Bob Marley's passing in 1981. She scored a massive crossover hit with the single "One Draw," which projected her into the international limelight. Harambe is Rita Marley's second solo album, released after
the massive success of her first and album and the hit single "One Draw," as well as her first international solo tours. Highlights of Harambe include the infectious Afro-Caribbean title track, the gorgeous "The Beauty of God's Plan," which was the flip side of the Jamaican release of "One Draw," Bob Marley's "Fussin' and Fightin" and originals by Rita such
as "King Street."
