• Introducing ‘Happy Family,’ the latest album from the legendary Junior Marvin. This new release embodies a universal and unconditional message of love, resonating deeply in our current times.
• With ‘Happy Family,’ Marvin aims to unite us all as a global family through the universal language of music. This album is more than just a collection of songs; it’s Marvin’s heartfelt contribution to encourage everyone on planet Earth to cherish happiness and share the precious gift of life.
• Embrace the spirit of ‘Happy Family’ and enjoy quality time with your loved ones, inspired by the wise words of Brother Bob Marley: ‘One Love.
• Junior’s new album, ‘Happy Family’, will coincide with the theatrical release of ‘One Love’, the Bob Marley Paramount biopic feature film. In the film, the role of Junior is played by his real-life son, Davo, who is also a musical artist.
• Junior Marvin was born in Jamaica and grew up in London and met the late Tuff Gong icon on Valentine’s Day in 1977 (ironically the same day the film will be released) who touted him as the ‘young Jimi Hendrix of London’. Marley immediately asked Junior to join his band as lead guitarist and became one of Marley’s closest friends up until his death. Junior’s guitar playing was a huge influence on Marley, and his musicianship can be clearly heard on such seminal Marley tracks as ‘Could You Be Loved’ (which Junior originally wrote and gave to Marley), ‘Waiting in Vain’, ‘Buffalo Soldier’, ‘The Heathen’, ‘One Love’ and ‘Jamming’.
• Junior Marvin is not just limited to reggae, however; he has played with Stevie Wonder and Steve Winwood, among many others (he actually turned down an offer by Wonder to join his band Wonderlove to accept Marley’s offer to become a
member of The Wailers on the same Valentine’s Day in 1977).
• Limited edition Vinyl LP pressed on Red, Gold and Green vinyl.
