Ten years after his initial Carnival album, Wyclef Jean has released The Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant.  It's inspired by various music from around the world and includes appearances by Shakira, Mary J. Blige, TI, Norah Jones, will.i.am, and Paul Simon.  It's been getting great reviews, and Wyclef's already at work on a Carnival 3, though they're still not sure on the title.  I got a chance to talk with him in Seattle about his humble beginnings, his musical inspirations, and Yele, his non-profit organization.

You can watch a music video of Fast Car, one of the singles from Carnival II, here:
