List of Rastafarians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A number of noted individuals have been Rastafarians.

• Buju Banton, (born 1973) - dancehall and ragga musician and singer
• Prince Emmanuel I - major Rasta thinker and theologian
• Winston Rodney, (born 1948) - roots rock reggae musician and singer
• Joseph Hill - roots rock reggae musician and singer
• Leonard Howell - early preacher
• Bob Marley, (1945 - 1981), roots rock reggae musician and singer
• Peter Tosh, (1944 - 1987), roots rock reggae musician and singer

The visionary Jamaican activist and cultural leader Marcus Mosiah Garvey, (1887 - 1940), is sometimes described as the founder of Rastafarianism. However, Garvey appears to have rejected the beliefs developed by the Kingston street preachers who interpreted his political speeches in the 1920s and 1930s as religious prophecy.
