Rootsman Skanking – Bunny Wailer (2025 Music Video)

Today, our thoughts are with Bunny Wailer, who passed away 3 years ago on March 2, 2021, a month after his 75th birthday, in Kingston, Jamaica. As one of the founding members of The Wailers, his contribution to roots reggae stays unmatched, and his legacy needs to remain alive in the hearts of reggae lovers like us worldwide.

Bunny Wailers’ story doesn’t end here. His son, Abijah Livingston (Naki Wailer), carries the torch forward, keeping the essence of his father’s spirit alive. At 6:30 PM Jamaican time, Abijah premieres a brand-new video for “Rootsman Skanking”—a tribute to one of Bunny’s biggest hits that was released on the ‘Rootsman Skanking’ album in 1987, featuring ‘The Radics’, Robbie Shakespeare on Bass, Sly Dunbar on Drums, and Keith Sterling on the Keys.

The Wailer legacy continues, reminding us all why reggae is not just music—it’s a way of life. Don’t miss this special moment. Tune in for the premiere and keep skanking!
