In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the famous song by Bob Marley, his estate and record label have released an official music video created by French artists Octave Marsal & Theo De Gueltzl.

Marsal & De Gueltzl’s breathtaking animation, featuring 2,747 original drawings, uses powerful symbols to amplify the magnitude of the song’s timeless lyrics and importance in today’s world.

Released in October 1980, “Redemption Song” was featured on Marley’s final album, Uprising. He died the following year from cancer. The music video is the first instalment of “Marley75,” a year-long celebration of the late reggae legend’s birthday, who would have turned 75 years old on February 6th.
