Descriptif de l'album
Il y a toujours des disques qui comptent plus que d’autres dans la carrière d’un musicien, mais Exodus est bien plus que ça pour Bob Marley. Si l’album a propulsé le chanteur dans une autre dimension, il raconte aussi le destin d’un artiste devenu homme d’Etat. Nous sommes en 1976 : Bob Marley se croit au top de sa carrière, Eric Clapton a révélé son nom à ses millions de suiveurs en reprenant I Shot the Sheriff. Après les départs de Peter Tosh et Bunny Wailer deux ans plus tôt, il est seul maître à bord et est devenu une icône en Jamaïque, où des élections se préparent dans le trouble. Michael Manley, le Premier ministre, va devoir affronter Edward Seaga, qui règne sur le quartier de Tivoli Gardens à Kingston, et envoie ses gangs semer la terreur dans les autres quartiers acquis à son concurrent. Le 3 décembre 76, ces hommes armés vont visiter la maison de Bob Marley, soupçonné de pencher vers Manley, et tirent sur le chanteur, sa femme Rita et son manager Don Taylor, ne faisant miraculeusement aucune victime. Criblé de balles mais survivant, Bob Marley montera sur scène deux jours plus tard au Smile Jamaica Concert, exhibant ses blessures sous sa chemise et acquérant au passage une nouvelle stature. Malgré cet acte de bravoure, ce sera son dernier show en Jamaïque avant de longs mois d’exil en Angleterre.
Outre-Atlantique, Bob Marley entre dans les studios d’Island dès janvier 1977, comme s’il sentait l’urgence d’enregistrer. Le titre, Exodus, fait évidemment référence à son propre exil, mais constitue aussi un clin d’œil au concept rasta de repatriation, qui prône le retour en Afrique. Ultraproductifs, Bob et ses musiciens mettent en boîte une vingtaine de titres, dont la moitié serviront d’ailleurs pour l’album suivant, Kaya. Si la première moitié du disque contient des textes engagés (les appels spirituels Natural Mystic, Heathen ou Exodus, mais aussi So Much Things to Say et Guiltiness), le reste est plutôt bon enfant, avec Waiting in Vain, Jamming ou Three Little Birds, comme si Bob avait envie de légèreté. L’album se conclut sur l’emblématique Punky Reggae Party, hommage aux punks anglais imprégnés de reggae. Le titre, avec son rythme effréné si loin des standards des Wailers, est un bout d’histoire en soi, puisqu’il rassemble en studio Lee Perry, qui a coécrit les paroles, Sly Dunbar à la batterie, ainsi que des membres des groupes Aswad et Third World, également signés chez Island.
A sa sortie, le disque cartonne et chaque single augmente encore l’aura de Bob Marley. Quand il revient enfin en Jamaïque, le 22 avril 1978, pour le One Love Peace Concert, c’est un prophète qui fait monter sur scène les deux ennemis Michael Manley et Edward Seaga, leur imposant une poignée de main historique tandis que les Wailers jouent le rythme de Jamming… © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
