Peter Tosh was a pioneering Jamaican reggae musician and founding member of The Wailers, alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. Known for his powerful voice and rebellious spirit, Tosh was a passionate advocate for social justice, Rastafari and the legalisation of marijuana.
His solo career produced iconic songs such as ‘Johnny B. Goode’ and ‘Wanted Dread & Alive’ which highlighted his commitment to fighting oppression and inequality. Tosh’s fearlessness in his activism is still living through his musical legacy.
