Talented reggae act and grandson
of the legendary Bob Marley, Joseph
“Jo Mersa” Marley, has released a new
“Eternal” Visual mixtape as a follow
up to his 2021 EP.
“Jo Mersa Marley is gradually making
a mark in the reggae music
industry, with his signature style
standing out from contemporaries,”
Brooklyn-based Jamaican publicist
Ronnie Tomlinson told Caribbean
Life.
“The eldest son of Stephen Marley
and grandson of Bob Marley is again
looking to bless the ears of millions
of music lovers as he releases a new
visual mixtape titled ‘Eternal,’” added
Tomlinson, chief executive officer of
Destine Media.
She said Jo Mersa’s latest project is
a follow-up to his EP, with the same
title, released in May, “amidst rave
reviews from listeners.”
“The music world continues to
evolve as more names emerge across
different genres to meet the listening
demands of people across the globe,”
Tomlinson said. “Reggae ranks as one
of the oldest music genres, standing
the test time of time amidst a series
of evolution. Jo Mersa Marley is, however,
looking to take the listening
experience a notch higher, as he
drops his visual mixtape.”
Tomlinson said the mixtape, done
in collaboration with “Bashment,”
Disco Neil and Silent Addy, features
