Wyclef Jean Set to Host the First-Ever Caribbean Music Awards!

Wyclef Jean gears up to host the very first Caribbean Music Awards, a spectacular celebration of the diverse music genres from the Caribbean. Mark your calendars for August 31, and head to the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn to be part of this unforgettable occasion.

At 53 years old, Wyclef Jean is a well-known rapper and musician, with an impressive track record of three Grammy awards under his belt. He earned two Grammys for his contributions to the Fugees' iconic album "The Score" in 1996, and another as a co-producer of Santana's acclaimed "Supernatural," which snagged the Album of the Year award in 1999. His talent also extended to film, as he received a Golden Globe nomination in 2005 for co-writing the song "Million Voices" for the movie "Hotel Rwanda."

Wyclef Jean is excited about the potential of the Caribbean Music Awards, especially after the tremendous success of the Verzuz episode in May 2020, featuring Caribbean artists Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. He sees this as a testament to the incredible talent in the Caribbean music scene and the impact the awards show can have.

The Caribbean Elite Group (CEG), publishers of Caribbean Elite Magazine, is presenting this extraordinary event that will shine a spotlight on Caribbean culture and its music. The Caribbean Music Awards will honor and celebrate the immense contributions of Caribbean talent in shaping the world of music and fostering the richness of our diverse culture.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the presentation of a lifetime achievement award to Trinidadian soca singer, record producer, and songwriter Machel Montano. His outstanding work, including topping Billboard's Reggae Albums chart with "G.O.A.T." in 2019, makes him a deserving recipient of this prestigious recognition.

Don't miss this chance to be part of history and witness the best of Caribbean music on display. Tickets for the event are available, ranging from $60.50 to $161. Secure your spot and get ready for a night filled with extraordinary talent and incredible performances.
