Wyclef Jean, the Grammy Award winning artist, will be at Harvard on February 27th to accept the 2010 Artist of the Year Award presented by the Harvard Foundation at the Cultural Rhythms show. Born in Haiti, the artist has recently garnered attention for his work in his home-country following January 12th’s devastating earthquake through the Yéle Haiti Foundation which he started up in 2005.

The afternoon show featuring Jean will take place at 3 p.m. after Jean is present at a private luncheon via Cultural Rhythms–which is celebrating its 25th year. Another 15 great student groups will also be performing throughout the day.

Past recipients of this award have gone to the likes of Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Salma Hayek, and Sharon Stone. Student tickets for the afternoon show can be purchased for $12 and evening tickets $5. (Feb. 27)
