The objective of Yéle Haïti is to restore pride and a reason to hope,
and for the whole country to regain the deep spirit and strength that
is part of our heritage.
We showed the world that kids like us could sing passionate songs. We could smile, make love, be happy. Hip-hop didn't have to be about thug life. It could be just about life.
[on arriving in Port-au-Prince after the earthquake] That day, Haiti was gone and Wyclef Jean was a ghost. I was a man, any man, on a ruined street staring into an abyss.
