PRESS RELEASE Embargoed till March 30, 2017 6:00 AM WYCLEF JEAN AT THE INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FESTIVAL SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, March 30, 2017 – The International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu is proud to announce the presence of Wyclef Jean for its 34th Edition. The worldwide superstar Wyclef Jean will be performing on the Loto-Québec stage on Saturday August 12th, to the greatest pleasure of his fans, as well as the supporters of his 90’s Hip Hop group The Fugees. It is clear that Wyclef Jean will have the whole crowd dancing to his many hits, such as «Sweetest girl» and «Divine Sorrow», without mentioning the titles from his most recent album J’Ouvert, including «I Swear», out last February. With influences from jazz to classic rock to reggae, Wyclef Jean knows how to reinvent himself while offering eclectic music. Sometimes pop, sometimes Latin, his creative and adventurous music was often rewarded, as reflected by his three Grammy Awards. His six solo albums sold close to nine million copies throughout the world. The signer-songwriter and producer is also behind numerous worldwide hits interpreted by many other artists including Shakira, Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston and Destiny’s Child. Since this past November, the electro-acoustic ballad «Divine Sorrow», achieved in collaboration with Avicii, is a great success. With over nine million vues on Youtube, this song reminds the public how Wyclef Jean will never cease to create music and will keep on surprising his fans. His last album J’Ouvert is a great example, and can only keep building his fans’ excitement towards his upcomming album Carnival III coming this summer.
