“Jamming” was the Bob Marley song used during the famous onstage reconciliation at the 1978 One Love Peace Concert.
During the Kingston concert, Marley brought Jamaican political leaders Michael Manley and Edward Seaga onto the stage and joined their hands while performing “Jamming.” The gesture symbolized a public appeal for peace during a period of severe political violence between supporters of the two major parties.
The concert took place at the National Stadium on 22 April 1978. Marley had organized it partly to encourage an end to the violence, although the event was not a formal political settlement. The moment became one of the best-known images in reggae history.
“One Love” is closely associated with the concert and the peace message, which makes it a frequent wrong answer. However, the song performed during the leaders’ hand-clasping moment was “Jamming,” a track from the 1977 album Exodus.
