Wale headlined a bill stacked with local hip-hop artists at the 9:30 Club on Monday night, as D.C.’s music community staged a benefit concert in support of earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Tabi Bonney, Paula Campbell, D.C. Don Juan, Phil Adé, and a host of other acts also performed at the event, for which the 9:30 Club donated the use of its facilities — club employees even donated their wages for the evening. All proceeds from the concert, including ticket sales, service charges, and drink sales, were to be donated to Partners in Health (a non-profit organization with a longstanding engagement with Haiti) and Yéle Haiti (the foundation started by Wyclef Jean that has recently come under scrutiny for alleged financial misconduct). The show appeared to sell out, and a festive atmosphere prevailed, culminating in the exuberance provoked by Wale’s characteristically boisterous performance. A number of speakers, including Ward 5 D.C. Council member Harry “Tommy” Thomas, Jr., addressed the crowd between sets, and the musicians offered frequent reminders of the crisis that prompted their congregation on Monday night.
