Rastafari

In the Rastafari video they had a series of symbols that they had. They had the turbans as well as the dreads that were prominent symbols. They also had various signs of good and evil and the R of righteousness over the X of wrong. I also noticed that the good is written in black and the evil in white. I don’t really know if this is a religious thing or if it’s maybe more of a political symbol. Also the color red seems to be present a lot in their surrounding, with their clothes and turbans.
Bob Marley’s presentation of Rastafarian life was one of a somewhat stress less care free lifestyle. But in his song “No Woman No cry”, he presents a life that seems to have some political stress in it, but there is still this idea that the person should not be stressed. One thing that I feel is not presented in Bob Marley’s music is how devote the Rastafari can be. In the video they spoke about the times that they get up to perform ceremonies. They also strictly observe the Sabbath day.
