Multi Grammy Award winning artist, Lauryn Hill, has been confirmed to perform at this year’s Cape Town International Jazz Festival taking place on 30 and 31 March. The announcement comes shortly after RnB/Soul musician, Jill Scott, pulled out of the jazz festival due to a conflicting movie role schedule.
Hill, who was a member of Hip Hop group, The Fugees, launched her solo career with the release of her critically acclaimed album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, in 1998. The record earned her a staggering five Grammy Awards and a reputation as the best female MC of her generation.
