GONG&#8221; Marley in 2015, which was also his debut in Barcelona. There, a special bond was created that we hope will last for many years, and which we will renew in 2018 with a new visit from the youngest son of Bob Marley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having started in music when he was just a teenager, Damian Robert Nesta Marley adopted the alias of &#8220;JR. GONG&#8221; as a tribute to one of his father&#8217;s nicknames -&#8220;Tuff Gong&#8221;- and soon he created his own voice, as much inspired by reggae as by dancehall and hip hop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His second album, <em>Halfway Tree<\/em>, won him a Grammy for Best Reggae Album, and with <em>Welcome to Jamrock<\/em>, he definitively became one of the stars of 21<sup>st<\/sup> century Jamaican music. His brilliant career recently culminated in <em>Stony Hill<\/em>, released in July 2017, in which Damian continues to modernise reggae with productions inspired by the most exciting new trends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He has just released a new album and we could not pass up the opportunity to welcome him again as he becomes one of the artists who is directly associated with Festival Cru\u00eflla.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Buy here your ticket for Friday or, if you would rather live the whole experience, get a several days festival pass.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.portalticket.com\/entradas\/entrada-de-divendres\/3686\/cruilla-barcelona\/web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15770 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruillabarcelona.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/divendres-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.portalticket.com\/entradas\/abonament-2-dies--13-i-14-juliol-\/3684\/cruilla-barcelona\/web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15743 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruillabarcelona.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/abono2-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.portalticket.com\/entradas\/abonament-cruilla-2018_5498\/1966\/cruilla-barcelona\/web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15752 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruillabarcelona.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/abono3-en.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15327 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruillabarcelona.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cartell-general_low-en.jpg\" alt=\"Cruilla days\" width=\"500\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruillabarcelona.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cartell-general_low-en.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cruillabarcelona.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Cartell-general_low-en-300x423.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- auto-added video if acf\/single-artist-video not used  --> <iframe style=\"width: 100%;max-width: 100%;height: auto;aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/HT2789urycI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
