Ms. Lauryn Hill Celebrates 25 Years of ‘The Miseducation’ with a North American Tour
#laurynhill #vinyl #indiemusic
One of the iconic figures of the music industry, Ms. Lauryn Hill, is set to embark on a 13-date North American tour to mark the 25th anniversary of her groundbreaking album, ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’.
A significant highlight of this tour is the reunion with her former hip-hop group, the Fugees, for the entire series of shows across the US and Canada. This reunion comes after their unexpected get-together at the Philadelphia Music Festival. Their initial plans for a 2022 reunion tour got shelved due to Pras Michel’s ongoing legal issues. Michel faced accusations of furthering China’s interests and aiding Malaysian billionaire Jho Low in establishing political links in the US. Despite his claims of volunteering information to the FBI, he was found guilty in April.
While fans in the US and Canada get the treat of seeing the Fugees, Australian audiences are in for their own special experience. For the Australian leg of the tour, Ms. Hill will be joined by the immensely talented Jamaican singer, Koffee.
The tour is set to launch on September 8 at Minneapolis’ Mystic Lake and will crisscross through various cities like New York, Washington, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles. It will wrap up on November 9 in Seattle, Washington.
In a heartfelt reflection, Ms. Hill expressed the sentiments behind her monumental 1998 album, stating, “‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’ is and was a love song… to my family, my people, my musical and cultural forebears, my teachers, my loves, my Creator.” She confidently recalled how she was sure that her inspiration would resonate with her audience, challenging the belief that such songs were a thing of the past.
