Wyclef Jeanelle Jean, the Haitian/American musician who found fame with hip hop/soul outfit Fugees continues to tour solo with an intelligent merging of his own successful work as well as his Grammy award winning material with his previous band. The man himself has collaborated with some of R & B's most critically and commercially successful names including Lauryn Hill and Mary J Blige and he honours some of these artists by performing their hits in a reworked manner.
He has hand selected his supporting musicians and they jam well together during the almost blues-like instrumentals found on 'Rock Music Jam'. This is followed by the Fugees' cover of 'No Woman No Cry' which the audience is more than happy to get involved in during the chorus. Wyclef lets out a small laugh and thanks them for the continuing support before going on to speak passionately about politics and charity regarding his homeland of Haiti. The mood is notably somber for a reason so the emotive weight of 'Gone Till November' really hits home. Wyclef Jean is without a doubt a varied performer and a really interesting person in general.
