Wyclef Jean would probably have made a good president of Haiti. In the end, however, one can be grateful that Wyclef, who lives in Chicago, did not fulfil his homeland’s nomination requirements in 2010. Instead, the multi-faceted musician remains an example of an artist with a great commitment to society. In the meantime, his collaborations with major and minor starts number into the hundreds, the last being the FIFA World Cup theme song ‘We Will Find A Way’, recorded with Santana for techno DJ Avicii’s new album. In addition, since the legendary Fugees split, Wyclef Jean has continued to release solo albums that oscillate between rap and reggae in a dreamily magical way. Not forgotten are his diverse performances in films and on television as well as his dedication to the charitable organisation Yéle Haiti. He even wrote a book about his eventful life, but he is at his best in the place where he can sing his songs: on stage. There he is the president of urban sound. (C Major Entertainment)
