Another opportunity to see The Wailers (Bob Marley & The Wailers) Live Hard Rock Pattaya 2011. The band include an original member "Aston The Family man Barrett" who play bass.
Aston Barrett who is widely regarded as one of the worlds greatest bass players. Modest and unassuming, he was present on all of those unforgettable performances by Bob Marley & The Wailers from the seventies. He and lead singer Elan Atias form the main axis of the current Wailers a group thats one of the last, great reggae institutions, yet which refuses to live off past glories. Thats because whereas Family Man represents tried and trusted roots authenticity, Elan injects fresh excitement into a show that continues to attract enthusiastic audiences from around the world.
Elan was discovered by Wailers guitarist Al Anderson, and first sang with the band in 1997. After a brief hiatus to record his acclaimed debut album Together As One, produced by No Doubts Tony Kanal, he was soon called home by the Wailers mesmerising rhythms, and the opportunity to revisit those landmark reggae hits. Since reuniting with them, Elan has seamlessly worked some of his own songs into their repertoire, and also formed a joint production venture with Family Man thats designed to extend the Marley legacy yet further, and branch out into all areas of contemporary music. By way of example, their first project which promises to be a revelation is a new Wailers album featuring some of the biggest names in popular music.
Together with Bob Marley, the Wailers have sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide. In England alone, theyve notched up over twenty chart hits, including seven Top 10 entries. Outside of their groundbreaking work with Marley, the Wailers have also played or performed with international acts like Sting, the Fugees, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, and Alpha Blondy, as well as reggae legends such as Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Burning Spear. As the greatest living exponents of Jamaicas reggae tradition, the Wailers have completed innumerable other tours, playing to an estimated 24 million people across the globe. They have also been the first reggae band to tour new territories on many occasions, including Africa and the Far East.
