i posted a link to this video days ago, but wanted to embed it now that i have bandwidth. we found rudy in a tent hospital, where he was healing from a surgery on a broken femur. he sang this beautiful version of “redemption song” for us that brought us all to tears. rudy taught himself english by listening to music.

yes, please, god; bring your redemption to haiti.

Marley was playing the first time I met my wife and has always been very special to me. This is on a completely different plain. Thanks for posting.

I love this.
This song is such an amazing song lyrically on its own, but to see it sung in this context and by this man leaves me without words.
Beautiful.
