Channel Title: Fantastic Negrito Channel Description: Order exclusive vinyl, CDs & other merch: https://storefront-records.myshopify.com/ Part love story, part history lesson, "White Jesus Black Problems" is an exhilarating ode to the power of family and the enduring resilience of our shared humanity. Inspired by the illegal, interracial romance of his 7th generation grandparents—a white indentured servant and an enslaved Black man—in 1750s Virginia, the collection is bold and thought provoking, grappling with racism, capitalism, and the very meaning of freedom itself. Negrito grew up in Oakland, CA. After a car cash nearly robbed him of his ability to play guitar, he began an unlikely redemption arc in 2015, when he won the 1st NPR Tiny Desk Contest, followed by taking home 3 consecutive GRAMMYs for Best Contemporary Blues Album. <video> Fantastic Negrito - Runaway From You (Official Video) Description: Director: Xavier Dphrepaulezz Cinematographer: Andreas Pichardo Editor: Dominic Poropat Color Grading: Andreas Pichardo Thank you for watching this video.

SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fantastic-negrito Website: https://fantasticnegrito.com/ Merch: https://fantasticnegrito.com/collecti... 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. #Blues #Rock #Soul #Funk #MusicVideo #Roots #IndependentArtist </video> <video> Fantastic Negrito -- Son Of A Broken Man Description: Thank you for watching this video.
