Wyclef Jean "Rivers of Babylon", A Song of Remembrance for Haiti
 The most popular son of beloved Haiti, Wyclef Jean closed out "Hope for
Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" with a performance.
Wyclef opened his performance with a snippet of the reggae classic
"Rivers of Babylon." The song was written and performed by Brent Dowe
and Trevor McNaughton of the Jamaican trio the Melodians in 1972. Over
the years, the song has become a anthem for Afro-Caribbean people who
choose to remember the ongoing plight their people and its connection
to the enslavement process.
