The work of individuals and their understanding of themselves as a supportive collective are central to the emergence and success of the Reggae Revival, as my research reveals.
The personal relationships and collaborations of the artistes with each other, as well as with individual producers and promoters, allow the Reggae Revival to be perceived as a movement that is not focused on a single „Marley“. The result is a relatively close circle of individuals who, with their own sound, common contents, messages and strategies, have created a musical movement that has made its mark internationally and is perceived as such.

The action of several individuals as a collective and the presence of a common vision instead of egoistic action is crucial here. In this way, the necessary resources can be drawn from the movement itself.
