It’s a tapestry of sounds—the roots heavy songs of Bob Marley interwoven with street savvy dancehall from his youngest son, Damian Marley. “Junior Gong,” as Damian is affectionately referred to in reggae circles, weaved the new and the old together in an enticing manner at San Francisco’s Warfield Theater on Friday, February 10. It was the first of a two-night stint.
