BROTHER KUMI & THE LEGEND DISCUSS SURVIVAL

I was to take this photograph in 1980 whilst working on probably the only Rastafarian newspaper ever published. Survival. In the frame are Mr. Robert Nesta Marley, left, the publisher, and second right, Mr. Mortimo Planno, the editor. Mr Planno, or 'Brother Kummi', was the gentleman who taught Mr. Marley the principles of Rastafari and other things. It has recently come to ones attention that this is a rare image capturing both together. This photograph will adorn the book, PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND OTHER FOLKS, due to be published in August, 2012.
