THE INTERVIEW
Do you remember still why the name The Wailers?
Yes I do, my father Aston “Familyman” Barrett kept the
name The Wailers after Robert Nesta Marley passed away in 1981, and passed down
to his son Aston Barrett Jr.
I will never make this name and the music this name
represents die. I've seen my father suffer through the struggle and for me with
this gift from the most high, I know it’s what I must do this name Wailers
really have a lot of weight on it, it even made problems with my family which I
try and do my best. But this work is Jah works and I can’t fail the fans and
the fans to come, because the world needs this music for therapy.
The Wailers is one of the most influential bands in the world music,
but what are or were your influences to make music that you do?
My music came from the most high, My musician
influence came from members of Bob Marley and The Wailers, my Uncle
Carlton Barrett, my Father Aston “Familyman” Barrett and Grandfather Joe Higgs.
My other influences are most definitely, Jazz and Funk
music.
Next year marks 55 years since The Wailers began as a band. Any special celebration for these 55 years?
A new album will be with the fans very very soon.
Perhaps that Legend is your best album to date. Did you think they are making one of the best records in the history of music?
Yes I do, this music is for all ages, and it represents Peace, Love & Unity
Many things have happened in The Wailers' life. What has
changed in the sound of The
Wailers over the years?
The messages have grown for
this time.
Stand Firm In a Babylon is our
new message, because you have good and bad people that works in this system, so
we need to give the energy to the good people, so they can do the righteous
work of positive vibration, which is the work of the mist high, and to also
give hope to the bad one dem, so they will see the light and live in love.
What are you going to offer in your live concerts
around the world with this “Legend Tour 2017” and what do you hope from the people in your shows?
We hope this music will take
all your pains away, from this life, and the past life, we want the fans and
fans to be, together and be a part of the Wailers family.

this year 2017 and next 2018? Can you anticipate anything to us?
New Album
Do you think the digital world will end with music as
we know it today? What do you think is the future of music?
We will always be there.
Reggae music has no category; it’s not Old or New, its spiritual music from
God. The most high have no end, this music is so powerful even the once that
don't believe in anything get attracted our music, why? Because it’s not a
normal thing. As brother Bob Marley said, this music will get bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger until it finds it rightful people and then it gets bigger
again.
What is your best memory about music?
Love, and Unity, it gives me
strength and hope.
What do you
think about the current economic situation in Spain, Jamaica, Europe and World
in general?
Everything about the whole
world is a circle, each time the energy shift we all shift with it, If the
energy shift and your still the same, that’s is where destruction comes in.
We’re all here for a reason, and that reason is to learn from our mistakes to
go to the next level of life.
