Sunsplash 2011 will have a special testimonial, one of the authentic reggae queens: we are talking about Rita Marley, Bob Marley's wife, who after the success at Studio One as a member of the Soulettes contributed with the vocal harmony of the I-Threes to a fundamental ingriedient of the classic sound of one of the best Bob Marley and the Wailers's albums.

The beautiful "Who feels it knows it" (1981), re-launched her solo career begun in the sixties while his other successes are the hit-single "One draw" (1981) and the next album "Harambe". Rita created the Bob Marley Foundation with the aim of giving value to Bob MArley's cultural heritage and recently she created another foundation under his own name through which she collects funds in order to fight poverty in the developing countries. At the festival Rita will be performing on stage during Kymani Marley's show.
