The Wailers are a Jamaican reggae band formed in 1963, originally known as the Wailing Wailers. The group was co-founded by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer. They gained international fame in the 1970s, particularly for their collaboration with producer Chris Blackwell and the release of iconic albums like "Catch a Fire" and "Rastaman Vibration." The Wailers' music is characterized by its rhythmic beats, socially conscious lyrics, and a blend of traditional Jamaican sounds. After the death of Bob Marley in 1981, the band continued to perform and record, with various lineups and members, including Julian Marley and Kymani Marley, who are part of Marley's legacy.
