2019 has so far been a big year for Fantastic Negrito. Starting off with Vive Latino 2019 in Mexico D.F. During the course of the year he has performed in over 30 countries and hit the biggest festivals in the world including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and soon to hit Afropunk. He will have shared the stage with amazing artists such as Sting, Gary Clarke Jr., The Roots, Japanese Breakfast and more. Negrito was introduced to the word after winning the tiny desk contest in 2015 which allowed him to perform on National Public Radio (NPR) with music critic Bob Boilen in attendance.
Fantastic Negrito is a man’s truth told in the form of black roots music. Each song is a real story about a musician from Oakland who experienced the highs of a million dollar record deal, the lows of a near fatal car accident that put him in a four-week coma, and is now in the phase of rebirth despite his playing hand being mangled. Negrito’s music emphasizes rawness and space. Slide guitar, drums, piano. Rather than update the Delta Blues, Fantastic Negrito leaves the original sounds of Lead Belly and Skip James intact, building bridges to a modern sound with loops and samples of his own live instruments. But the primary element that drives Fantastic Negrito’s music is uncut realness and zero concern for “pop” anything.
Fantastic Negrito’s song “An Honest Man” will be featured as the opening credits to a cable series that premieres in August 2014.
