> Its international success cemented Marley's growing political importance
> in
> Jamaica, where his firm Rastafarian stance had found a strong resonance
> with the
> ghetto youth. By way of thanking the people of Jamaica, Marley decided on
> a free
> concert, to be held at Kingston's National Heroes Park on December 5,
> 1976. The
> idea was to emphasise the need for peace in the slums of the city, where
> warring
> factions had brought turmoil and murder.
>
> Just after the concert was announced, the government called an election
> for
> December 20. The campaign was a signal for renewed ghetto war and, on the
> eve of
> the concert, gunmen broke into Marley's house and shot him.
>
> In the confusion the would-be assassins only wounded Marley, who was
> hastily
> taken to a safe haven in the hills surrounding Kingston. For a day he
> deliberated playing the concert and then, on December 5, he came on stage
> and
> played a brief set in defiance of the gunmen.
