The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is an almost perfect album, lauded by many as the greatest album of the decade. It is a triumphant representation of the Afrocentric bohemianism once championed by Hill’s former multi-platinum group the Fugees with musical nods back to legendary figures such as Alice Coltrane and the always socially conscious Queen Latifah.
Perhaps most incredibly with this album Hill became the first hip-hop artist to win a Grammy for Album of the Year only to disappear from the spotlight leaving us to only imagine how amazing the follow up that never was could have been.
Join us at one of our listening sessions around the world to hear this album as never before!
