Lauryn Hill will embark on a tour of the U.S.A. and Canada at the end of August. The "MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling!" tour will feature different performances from "artists throughout the African diaspora," according to a press release. Earlier this year Hill hosted a festival in Brooklyn under the same name with artists including Trinidad's Machel Montano, Stephen "Ragga" Marley of Jamaica both performing live. The special guests, along with additional dates, will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Hill said: “The MLH Caravan allows me to continue the theme of unity and celebration of the many facets of cultural and artistic beauty throughout the African diaspora while on tour this summer and fall. In these days of tension, tumult and transition, an exchange of this kind can yield direction, expression, understanding and empowerment as well as connection, self Love and appreciation that hopefully overflows into our respective communities.”
