Ms. Lauryn Hill Joins Wyclef Jean to Perform Fugees Songs

Very last September, almost everything seemed to be likely considerably very well (at minimum in contrast to now). 1 of the very best factors to materialize was that right after many years of squabbling, The Fugees have been lastly placing their variances aside not just for a a single-off, but for an full tour commemorating the 25th anniversary of The Rating. The trio even played a demonstrate in New York (wherever they confirmed up a few hrs late, but hey, who’s counting?). We had our uncertainties that the good periods had been gonna retain going, but the Fugees’ initially show given that 2005 was terrific and produced our checklist of the finest exhibits of 2021.

However, considering that we just cannot have good factors, the Fugees reunion tour disintegrated in January with a ho-hum announcement blaming it on COVID cases spiking (while it was described ticket revenue weren’t so very hot). So, they went again at it on their possess.

But on Friday night time at Essence Competition in New Orleans, there was some excellent news to report. About a half-hour into Wyclef Jean’s set, Ms. Lauryn Hill showed up to accomplish a slew of Fugees tunes including “Killing Me Softly,” “How A lot of Mics,” “Fu-Gee-La,” and “Ready or Not.” For people hoping that Pras would clearly show up, perfectly, sorry! He wasn’t there. However, two out of 3 ain’t bad, appropriate?
