Eric Clapton, Whitney Houston, and current Billboard Hot 100 chart toppers Destiny's Child will join Wyclef Jean at a Jan. 19 benefit concert at New York's Carnegie Hall, the rapper/producer announced today (Dec. 5) in New York. The event, which is billed as a celebration of American music, will also include performances by Charlotte Church, reggae artists Third World, and Clef's Kids, a performing arts group for 13-16 year-olds founded by the Wyclef Jean Foundation.
"I was looking for artists that have an eclectic vibe," Jean said, adding that more artists will be confirmed as the event draws near. Jean also noted that he and Clapton are planning to perform a new song he has written specifically for the event.
The event, which will include music from the 1930s to the present, will raise money for the Wyclef Jean Foundation's music education efforts.
