What was the name of Bob Marley’s 1976 peace concert in Kingston?

The story behind the answer

Bob Marley’s 1976 peace concert in Kingston was called the Smile Jamaica Concert.

The concert took place at the National Heroes Park in Kingston on 5 December 1976. Marley agreed to perform during a period of severe political violence in Jamaica, and the event was intended to promote unity and ease tension. He had been shot shortly before the concert but still appeared onstage.

Marley later performed at the One Love Peace Concert in 1978, a separate event that is frequently confused with Smile Jamaica. The two concerts shared a peace-oriented purpose, but they occurred in different years and under different circumstances.
