WYCLEF
Wyclef Jean has always been public about his support of his native country, Haiti. In 2007, he was named Haiti’s ambassador-at-large. His charity foundation, Yele Haiti, donates money toward rebuilding the country after the January 2010 earthquake. Jean recently told the Associated Press that he is launching a campaign called “Face to Face” to get young people in Haiti to vote in the upcoming November 2010 election.
Now, the latest news came on Monday from Jean’s family. In a letter, they said that Jean may “be a part in the government moving forward.” The letter supports recent rumors that Jean will run for President of Haiti this fall.
This all seems to be speculation right now, but if you look at his resume it’s not hard to believe that he would want to take the big job and get to the heart of rebuilding his home land.
Quincy Jones has been asked to remake ‘We Are The World' countless times over the past 25 years and every time it has been quickly shot down. Only after the devastation in Haiti was Quincy inspired to re-make the classic and just like 25 years ago, it's going to be big ... real big!
More than 80 musical artists joined forces at Henson Studios in Los Angeles on Monday to start recording the epic classic. Quincy Jones will be producing along with Will.I.Am and RedOne, and RedOne couldn't be more pleased to help, "Having Quincy, our father of music ... and Lionel Richie asking me to contribute and help, I said of course, because this is not about me," he said. "It's about Haiti."
