Marley's fans gather in Ethiopia
BBC

Thousands of Rastafarians and music fans are gathering in Ethiopia to begin a month of events to mark what have would been Bob Marley's 60th birthday.

It is the first time the annual celebrations are being held outside the reggae legend's native Jamaica.

Ethiopia was chosen because Rastafarians, such as the late singer, regard the late Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie as their spiritual leader.

Marley's widow Rita Marley has said one day she wants him reburied in Ethiopia.
