Just a few short years ago, The Fantastic Negrito(Xavier Dphrepaulezz) was singing his songs on the streets of Oakland..He entered an NPR songwriting contest and won it, prevailing over 30,000 entrants..His star has been on a steady rise ever since; through international tours and television appearances..A few days ago, on July 3,2017; TFN invited the general public and fans to attend a video production location and live performance shoot in West Oakland..The site was an empty lot next to Slim Jenkins Place..This recently reopened night club was one of many in this once vibrant neighborhood..The bustling night life in the 1940's,50's, and 60's in this African American neighborhood saw most of the notable R&B and Blues stars of that time..Ray Charles, James Brown, BB King, and many more, had Oakland as a regular stop on the 'chitlin' circuit'..Oakland has since spawned many musical stars since then..It is having a big resurgence in these times, and The Fantastic Negrito is one of the new up and comers that represents the spirit and creativity that thrives in Oakland..This video channel mostly consists of live performance music videos that took place in Oakland ..This clip is from the July 3rd video shoot, but this was shot and edited by yours truly, and has no affiliation with the video production crew filming that event..However, I am friends with the band and they appear in multiple videos on this channel.. TFN has wry ironic takes on modern society and it's attributes..The song in this clip is about personal encounters with members of the opposite sex..
