The music of Fantastic NegritoIt exudes directness and can be simultaneously poignant and energetic, creative and dense with black music.
The Duffler is a very familiar story...a story about someone having something and not appreciating it until it's gone, when it's too late. Given current events, I think America is in that space right now,". says Fantastic Negritoat"The Duffler
For those not yet familiar with it, the music of Fantastic Negritospeaks, and very frankly too.
"I wrote this album because I am worried about the lives of my black brothers. I'm worried about my sisters' lives, I'm worried about their future. Will someone go into the schools and shoot up the place? Will they become addicted to drugs? Will they wander the streets without targets and without a roof to shelter under? Will the police kill my children? I gave the record this title because I came to the conclusion that we, all of us, the whole of humanity, have lost the sense of society and, unfortunately, I know what happens when you chase after wrong things and lose yourself in evil. It's the story of my life" states Fantastic Negrito.
"Please Don't Be Dead"Released on 15 June, it was self-produced and recorded in the company's own studio in Oakland, and comes on the heels of the debut "The Last Days of Oakland", an album that won the Grammy in 2017 in the category 'Best Contemporary Blues Album'.
