According to organizers of the Village Rock Festival in the tiny Serbian hamlet of Banatski Sokolac, a statue of late great Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley was unveiled there on July 23rd

According to their website (which I still have yet to locate) it is the first European monument of the Jamaican born artist. Two other Serbian villages have erected staues of non-Serbian artists. They are of Johnny Weissmuller, the late actor famed for his role as "Tarzan", and Sylvester Stallone's famous film character "Rocky Balboa".

This year's is the 3rd installment of this festival. The opening act is will be opened by Del Arno Band, and also features Jamaican act Ras Abraham & the Irie Vibes.
