Oooh La La La…It’s the way that they rock when they’re doing their thang, oooh La La La…it’s the natural La that the Refugees bring…oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Lah…
In Kuala Lumpur, it was a sweet thing:
Former Fugess Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean reunited onstage on Friday at a concert in Malaysia to raise money for tsunami-devastated communities.
On the set list: hits like “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not” and “Fu-Gee-La.” When I read the line-up of acts, I was reminded of last year’s Coachella; a reunited Pixies dominated the buzz there, I can see the Fugees doing the same at this show.
The pair joined performers including actor Jackie Chan, the Backstreet Boys, Black Eyes Peas and Boyz II Men before 15,000 fans at the seven-hour Forces of Nature event.
“Forces of Nature” raised $2.6 million dollars for tsunami-affected nations like Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. Take a lesson, jack-asses at Hot 97.
…During an emotionally charged gig, Jean lead the crowd in a chant of “We’ll never forget the tsunami victims” and instructed the stadium lights to be turned off while crowd members waved lighted cell phones.
From his lips to our ears.
Maybe it’s just cuz I’m a wireless geek but does anyone else find it a trip that the kids waved cellphones rather than lighters? God I’m old.
How long since you’ve been to a concert, bro? This has been happening for years.
ooh la la la, indeed.
The Fugees did a reunion performance last fall at Dave Chappelle’s Block Party. (And I love the fact that a poster on that board cut and pasted a story written by Joseph Patel for MTV.)
