Protecting Bob Andy’s Legacy

Keith “Bob Andy” Anderson, one of reggae’s most influential songwriters, died two years ago today, but for his daughter Bianca, it feels like yesterday. “I miss him so much. It’s hard to describe as we spent so much time together watching world news, trying to solve the problems of the world and life and just hearing him impart wisdom… it’s hard to explain,” she shared with Jamaica Observer. She explained that, in 2018, she lived in California, worked for a tech company, and she was doing well. Anderson added that, she began to receive calls from her father every day asking if she was happy and suggesting that she return to Jamaica to work in the music industry and work with him. Later that year she visited Jamaica for a family funeral and remained close to her father until he transitioned. “I keep asking myself: Did he know something? Or was it complete happenstance that I got the opportunity to spend so much time with him? He suggested that I move to London and he hooked me up with a few of his friends. We flew to London together, and he was here with me for four months. It was just me and Daddy going for walks, cooking, watching Netflix. If you knew Daddy, documentaries are his thing, and I remember there was a Sam Cooke documentary on NetFlix and he enjoyed watching. He had a voracious appetite for news and information,” she said.
