The Duppy Conquerors are a rich collection of high-caliber musicians playing in tribute to the music of Bob Marley. Nominated for a Boston Music Award, this 9-piece ensemble of veteran musicians embodies a soulful authenticity that honors the artist and his timeless collection. Named after Bob Marley’s hit song, the term Duppy Conqueror means “killer of bad spirits.” Audiences ride the wave of positivity as they dance along to hits like “Is this Love,” “Could you be Loved,” and “No Woman No Cry.”
“Bob Marley was about Spirit. His music touched many souls. It’s great to see the Duppy Conquerors capture that spirit and make it live anew. They play his songs with a beautiful conviction and love.” ~ Steve Morse, Boston Globe
