From a funk stampede to foot stomping blues, Grammy award winning blues, soul and rock singer Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, who performs as Fantastic Negrito, knows how to deliver a wicked live set. Spellbinding. He’s about to tour with Bruce Springsteen, has just recorded a song with Sting [yet to be released] and after a near fatal car crash some years back, which saw his right hand partly severed from his wrist, has learned to play again and promises cathartic rebirth with every rocking riff. He played hits from his latest album White Jesus Black Problems [2022] and the more recent acoustic of that same album Grandfather Courage [2023]. He sings about racism, the evils of capitalism and slavery, turning heavy topics of rage into infectious rhythms of love and light. He is the real deal. “This tremendous synthesis of righteous rhetoric and gnarly, funk-flecked blues-rock… a potent tour de force” The Times. “Healer, entertainer, shaman, funkateer, and prophet, Fantastic Negrito is a demon-chasing, street-wise preacher who delivers the goods with funk and soul and a big dose of social consciousness to help us all get through these troubled times.” No Depression
An exhilarating feast for the musical senses with a potent fusion of roots and blues, funk, rock, and jazz with occasional psychedelic flourishes.
