$10 – $15

Black Roots Music for Everyone

Fantastic Negrito is a man’s truth told in the form of black roots music. Each song helps from the real story of 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 4-week coma, and is now in a 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 instruments live. But the primary element that drives Fantastic Negrito’s music is his uncut realness and zero concern for “pop” anything.

Xavier Dphrepaulezz – lead vocals
Kaz Sazaki – bass
Ruthie Price – drums
