Marlins Announce Wyclef Jean as the Final Super Saturday Concert at Sun Life Stadium

Wyclef Jean

The Florida Marlins welcome Grammy Award-winning artist Wyclef Jean to perform at the final 2011 Super Saturday home game on Sept. 3. The live on-field concert will follow the Marlins’ 7:10 p.m. game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wyclef Jean closes a 2011 Super Saturday season that saw acts such as Pitbull, T-Pain, Ludacris, The Beach Boys, Gilberto Santa Rosa, and Fuego & Los Hermanos Rosario deliver incredible post-game performances. With the new Marlins Ballpark set to open in April of 2012, the Sept. 3 show with Wyclef Jean will be the final Marlins Super Saturday ever held at Sun Life Stadium.

Preparing to release his self-titled album "wyclefjean" later this year, Haitian-born singer and producer Wyclef Jean first rose to fame as part of the hip-hop trio, The Fugees.  With The Fugees, Jean won a Grammy for Best Rap Album in 1996 for "The Score," which sold 18 million copies worldwide.  In 1997, Jean released his first solo album "The Carnival," which included hit singles “We Trying to Stay Alive,” “Gone Till November,” and “Guantanamera,” selling five million albums worldwide. Jean has also made several notable guest appearances on #1 hit singles including “Maria, Maria” with Santana and “Hips Don’t Lie” with Shakira.
