Fantastic Negrito

Fantastic Negrito is not only a singer who drills late. No, he is above all a phoenix that never stops rising from its ashes. For the artist, to deliver today's critically acclaimed albums, subtle mixes of acidic blues and explosive funk, sprinkled with an undeniable punk touch, has gone through three decades of hardship and has even seen death in the face. But for him, it's obvious that "an artist reveals himself through the darkest moments he has ever gone through".
 

And his life is marked by dark moments. Raised in a very strict orthodox Muslim Orthodox family, a time weed dealer, he pretended to be a student to take piano lessons at the University of Berkeley. A survivor of a car accident that left him in a coma for three weeks, Fantastic Negrito definitely has something to say! And he does so by mixing genres like no one else and producing a unique style, a true concentration of decades of black music.
 
On stage, however, he has nothing to envy Sid Vicious. Afro-Iroquois carried high, he looks like he's plugged straight into the mains! The instruments are hammered, and he always delivers a perfect performance, with a powerful voice, precise technique and bubbling energy.

 
His ardour and character also drive him to press his militant vein. For Fantastic Negrito, like many others, has, like many others, a bad feeling for his America. A fervent defender of the cause of African-Americans and equality, he has never doubted his role: "I hear here and there that artists no longer have an impact on what the public thinks, whereas it is exactly the opposite". No doubt, he has rage. And at more than 50 years of age, he has finally found his voice.
