¿Sabías que la abuela del icónico artista del reggae Bob Marley era judía?

Hace algunas décadas, en Jamaica, Ellen Ann Broomfield, una joven judía de ascendencia siria, se casó con Albert Thomas Marley y dio a luz a Norval Marley, quien se convirtió en oficial de marina y supervisor de plantaciones.

A la edad de 60 años, Norval se casó con Cedella Editha Booker. Su hijo, Robert Nesta Marley, se convirtió en un famoso artista de reggae conocido como Bob Marley.
