Cedella Marley Curates Soundtrack for Reggae Girlz Documentary

Cedella Marley, the Grammy-winning daughter of Bob Marley, has curated the soundtrack for the new documentary about Jamaica's women's soccer team, the Reggae Girlz, as reported by Billboard. The documentary, which follows the team's journey to the world stage, will be available to stream on major platforms starting October 27.

The soundtrack features nine previously released tracks from various members of the Marley clan, including Bob, Damian, Stephen, and Skip, as well as a track from Jamaican soccer star and singer Tiffany Cameron. The compilation is available exclusively on limited edition vinyl via Tuff Gong Collective, with 100% of net proceeds going to the Reggae Girlz Foundation fund.

Marley became an ambassador and sponsor for the Reggae Girlz in 2014 and has been involved in their journey ever since. She wanted the soundtrack to reflect the team's journey and remind people of their strength and resilience. The documentary and soundtrack aim to bring attention to the team's struggles and triumphs, including their qualification for two consecutive World Cups.

The Reggae Girlz have faced several challenges in recent years, including pay disputes and lack of financial support from the Jamaica Football Federation. Despite these obstacles, the team has persevered and continues to inspire young girls in Jamaica and around the world. This documentary and soundtrack matter to listeners because they showcase the power of music and sports to bring people together and overcome adversity.
