In the UK I had the chance to drop by HMV to look for records. Unsuspicious I was going through some of the world music and found a new Putumayo Presents CD. Well, I found quite a few, that I did not know yet, but I just ended up buying one called “Caribbean” with Soca and Reggae. To my positive surprise parts of the money goes to Yéle Haiti, a movement for bringing hope to Haiti, spearheaded by Wyclef Jean.
That then also made me ask for the new Wyclef Jean album Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant. Surprisingly enough they already had it a few days before official US release. Could not resist buying it and I’m overjoyed. Great album, one of the best albums I’ve ever bought. I love the sound, the bassline and the atmosphere and especially the attitude. He really uses music to make the world a better place. Highly recommendable to any Wyclef fan!
