The Original Wailers Concert in Tulum, Riviera Maya
Since we live in an amazing beach
community with such great vibes, we know many of you must be big reggae fans!
Well, your dream is about to come true: one of the world’s most iconic reggae
groups, The Original Wailers, is coming to the Riviera Maya!
The Original Wailers will be
playing in Tulum, Mexico on Sunday, May 15, 2016 at Villa Pescadores, along
with Tijuana-based reggae band Somos Uno Sound System for a magical night of
reggae, beach and harmony.
Villa Pescadores is a charming
hotel and beach club located right on the beach at the northern end of the Tulum
Hotel Zone. They offer luxury cabanas and laid-back Mexican style for a
beautiful and relaxed atmosphere, as well as an on-site restaurant and water
sports like stand-up paddleboarding and kitesurfing. With all the bohemian
charm that characterizes the town of Tulum, this beach club is an idyllic spot
for a reggae concert in the Riviera Maya.
The history of The Wailers dates
all the way back to 1969 when Bob Marley recruited the original members, and
the band took on their now-iconic name Bob Marley & The Wailers in the
early 1970s. Even after Bob Marley’s death in 1981, The Wailers have seen
continued success, playing with musical greats like Sting, Santana, Stevie
Wonder, Jason Mraz and many other famous artists. Today, The Original Wailers
is led by original group member Aston “Family Man” Barrett, who was one of Bob
Marley’s most trusted friends throughout the 1970s.
The concert begins at 8pm Sunday night,
and tickets can be purchased for $475 Mexican pesos.
