Founded in London in 2015, the Chineke! Orchestra is the first European orchestra composed primarily of musicians of ethnic origin. At the request of the Bob Marley estate, the orchestra has recorded new arrangements of some of Marley's greatest classics, using Bob Marley's original vocals. The result is a surprising album where the songs are fully preserved in their original state while simultaneously taking on a new dimension through the addition of the orchestra. The original Bob Marley tracks can be found on CD2.
