Wyclef Jean to remain in US supporting Haiti fundraising and support relief for his countrymen
19/01/2010
Andrew McManus Presents announced today that Lauryn Hill will now bring her own band to Australia to perform at Raggamuffin 2010, while Wyclef Jean remains in the US to continue his plight to help the people of Haiti.

The tragic earthquake that struck the Caribbean Island on January 12 has been described by Wyclef as an apocalypse and has kept the Haitian born rapper to stay close to his homeland and continue to raise money and lend support for the devastated Island. Wyclef has postponed to his trip until Raggamuffin 2011.

Raggamuffin will be helping to support the Haitian people with collections at each show and donations can also be made through Wyclef's own Yele Haiti charity site www.yele.org.

Lauryn Hill will now perform Raggamuffin 2010 with her full band whilst Shaggy will now close the festival. Sly and Robbie will perform a separate set in what will be an amazing night of hip-hop and reggae music.

Reggae superstar, Ms. Lauryn Hill from the Fugees, has joined the Raggamuffin line up.
