Wyclef Jean: 'The Fugees Should Reform For Haiti Song'

January 29, 2010

Wyclef Jean says The Fugees 'should' record a song for the Haiti earthquake appeal.

The 37-year-old musician, who was a member of The Fugees with his fellow Haiti born cousin Pras Michel and Lauren Hill, believes they could make a lot of money if they reform.

He said: "Everyone is doing different relief and when the time is right, the vibe is right, The Fugees should definitely contribute a single to go into Yele Haiti. I think it would raise a lot of money."

Jean, of course, was instrumental in organising the Hope For Haiti Now telethon which raised over $57million for the relief effort in the earthquake ravaged nation.

He also runs a charity, Yele Haiti, which is raising millions for the country.

However, despite all the good work by musicians across the globe, Jean still has some fears.

He told BBC 1Xtra: "Here's a chance where we can actually rebuild the country from ground zero. So I think we all should focus on that.

"My biggest fear is all of this money being raised. Who is the person that is monitoring that money to make sure that it's actually being used on the ground properly?"
