  Ziggy Marley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Melody Makers, as the group came to be known, played occasionally for several years, including at their father's funeral in 1981.
The band's label, EMI, wanted to market Ziggy as a solo act, and so the Melody Makers moved to Virgin Records, where they recorded Conscious Party (1988, produced by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth).
As the 1990s continued, the Melody Makers' sales slowly declined, beginning with Joy and Blues (1993), Free Like We Want to Be (1995).

Blessed both by heredity and by singular talent, the Melody Makers have carried on their father's legacy by delivering stirring "roots" music and a dizzying array of other styles on the eight acclaimed albums they have released since the mid '80s.
On their new album, Fallen in Babylon, the Melody Makers pick up the vintage sound on their last album, 1995's Free Like We Want 2 B. Though there may appear to be a conscious progression, Ziggy is quick to point out that they just do what comes naturally.
The Melody Makers produced the album themselves at the rebuilt Marley Music Studio, which as Tuff Gong Studio was the site of Bob Marley's historic sessions.

 Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
The Melody Makers obviously know a good thing when they hear it, for they seem to pattern their style after that of their father: an accessible, rootsy, cultural style, with Ziggy's evocative vocals sounding remarkably similar to his dad's, and Ziggy's sisters singing background like the I-Threes.
The Melody Makers' songwriting, of course, is not quite as sharp as The Wailers', and since this was released in 1988, a slight '80s rock sound (with guitars and synthesizers) creeps in every now and then.
From the funky bass line of the title track to the catchy, happy melody of "Brothers and Sisters," this is a proper showcase of the Marley family's talent.

Martina Soukupova, a primary school student and a Twist customer for two years, was recently advising her classmate Karolina to change her melody as both friends chatted about the service while waiting for a tram.

 Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers--Spirit of Music
Living up to the legacy of the grand master of mainstream reggae music is never easy, but a few of Bob Marley's children have been at it since the late '80s, in the form of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.
This album finds the Melody Makers exploring new musical territory, going for a more acoustic sound this time around, which gives Spirit of Music a much quieter and more pensive feel, even on the up-tempo tracks.
While the family's reggae influence is still present (with a father like theirs, escaping that influence is probably all but impossible), it takes a back seat to a definite pop sensibility.

Saturday at the Miller Oasis, the band's opener "Power to Move You," was full of synth-based funk, instead of the typical reggae rhythm guitar riff, and Curtis Mayfield's classic, "People Get Ready," was laced with a soulful three-part harmony.
But the Melody Makers are not a hardcore reggae band.
When Marley dips into hip-hop and RandB, he and his bandmates sound more like a pop group, and his material from his latest release, "Fallen Is Babylon," lacks the vintage reggae that many of his supporters expect.
