Just had a late coffee and FANTASTIC was sitting next to me. I told him his music is on fire and he said "come to my concert tonight"... Nothin but class!!!!
Nah, I was the guy at BluJam Cafe on Melrose. We were talking about how my 6yr old digs your music and style!!!. I showed him the photo and he almost fell over! You made his day...and mine. Keep the music coming- next time the coffee is on me!
I just heard this today! How many years later. I love the blues and have never heard Fantastic Negrito. Wow! I'm blown away. Listenened to this and Betty. Can't wait to check out cds of his at my local music shops. Signed, 72 yr old white lady.
So far the best new songs I've heard all year are Plastic Hamburgers and The Duffler. I haven't been this excited about a new album in a long time. Thanks for being excellent, real, intense, and meaningful in an era where that is rare.
Got hold of a Sydney gig guide two weeks ago, saw the name Fantastic Negrito, checked him out on Spotify and was instantly blown away. This is the sort of powerful dirty blues I've been wanting to find for years. Went to the next show available, Oxford Art Factory. Great venue for the best frontman I have ever seen. Negrito your range and talent is incredible. Since then I've been playing your music to everyone that will listen, can't wait till you come back to Sydney.
Just found this amazing artist yesterday, and I have now listened to every song he has on Spotify. This was the one that Spotify first brought to my attention, probably because I am a HUGE blues fan, especially the blues rock of the 60s and 70s, but also the classics like Howlin' Wolf, etc. This is so good and all of his stuff is. It is a perfect modernization of that old old blues feel. I am sad I am late to the party, but I am here now, and so happy to jam.
I was asked to go see him in Glasgow a few years back so I listened to the opening riff for about 10 seconds of this song. I instantly said yes and it was fucking unbelievable how good they were live. Mind blowing.
Huge goosebumps, hair on my neck standing and that uncontrollable smile feeling that starts in my gut. Haven't felt that in a long long time. Thank you Fantastic Negrito, Thank you !
He has a voice that takes you on a journey, where there is no option but to go along. If I'd not heard another person sing, I'd be happy having just heard him.
Just listened to this on the radio while driving in the night through north Italy, It took one song to convince me to buy the tickets for the concert in Milan, simply amazing music
Revolution in music, what a novel theory. I feel musically we are moving back towards that 60-70 vibe. You know that Vietnam era protest music grandpa listened to way back when. The world we live in looks a lot the same politically as then and the virus our war. This music did not just pop out of nowhere and talent like this has been bubbling towards the surface for years. We are blessed enough for the music to come along when the world needs it most. Fantastic indeed! The lockdown does have its moments.
Truth, real gut-raw-belly sincerity and realness in your lyrics, music and spirit. You capture and represent the realness of our Oakland Bay Area community through your talent and art. Thank you my brutha for keeping us lifted and inspired artistically, and for being a constant reminder that we come from a community of very gifted loving people with a purpose. Music heals, much love.
i only just discovered this artist today and holy crap i just fell in love with his music so fast i can't stop listening on spotify!! and the visuals and style of this music video look cool too
Wow I just discovered Fantastic thanks to Classic Rock magazine and now I am totally hooked!! Always good to find incredible music. I'll spread the word!!
Oh.man.. this song really cheers me up while i was drivng home after work. We all need more fantastic negrito at the highways. Im gonna buy the cd. Cheeeeeers!
Wanted to see him in Evansville, IN tonight but I can’t make it, unfortunately. Still so glad his music is coming to a community that really needs to hear it! He is truly an awesome artist💜
I'm in shock with you Fantastic !!!! I have never heard anything like you before !!! my inspiration and perspiration light up when I hear you !!! I woke up to the musical life again after knowing your work !!! thanks for existing!!!
And instantly you've got a new fan. I have discovered Rival Sons recently and now you and it's good to see the good rock hasn't died. Greetings from Spain.
This is very soothing, my good sir thank you. Just having this on loop while downing a bottle of whiskey and a cigar after a 15 hr shift. I really can't headbang, but I calculatingly nod my head in every beat. FEELIN THE GROOVE!
Welcome to the Party. Saw him several years ago perform at Waterfront Bluesfest in Portland Oregon. His "Sound" is such an amalgamation and melting pot of so many different types of "Blues".
Just missed le poisson rouge show & been giving myself a home concert.. You are a healing force!!! So many gifts in here, esp the energy in this song. What a purge of the toxic🌟Shine On✨🪬Blessings to you~
Love this song, I always listen this song in my car, when I take shower, even when I clean my house. Somehow this song was properly match to any activities
Finally a group that understands rock and roll, you've gotta have that blues vibe. I just found this and I'm going to buy and stream the hell out of your music. Hope to see you on the road...hit up Massachusetts sometime guy! Keep it Rollin, wake the world up.
Fantastic Negrito that's Rhode island right? Only a three hour drive and totally worth it. July is plenty of time for my girlfriend and I to find babysitters for our two kids for a couple days. I'm really digging your guys music man, I'm a metal head but I pretty much listen to everything excluding modern country. I don't want o sound cliche but I'm also a veteran I served four years in the us army as an 11 x-ray (paratrooper) 3rd brigade combat team for the 82nd airborne for Bragg NC. I love my country and I am not a fan of the men pulling the strings for us, the message that your music sends in my opinion is a very important one and I love when bands such as yours and just as an individual as yourself to use such a powerful platform to spread your message instantly grabbed my attention and you had gotten yourself a fan right off the bat man. I will be at that festival and I will look very forward to meeting you for a good few minutes of chit chat and photos. Keep pushing brother, I think what you're doing is amazing and I'll be buying some LP'S/EP'S very soon!
redsox0288 I find this very inspiring. I salute that you can see past the indoctrination and see that loving your country is wanting it to do good in the world and for it's people to prosper! Let's build together
Thanks Xavier for Fantastic Negrito, your extraordinary and strong voice, is what this society needs to wake up, open our eyes about what really happens around us.
You guys should do a collaboration with Jack White. The sound that you both bring to the table harmonizing together would shake the pillars of the earth.
Today, after eleven days of seeing the notification, I listened to this song and so I discovered the rest of your music. Today was a good day. Thank you. Greetings from Athens, Greece.
Thank you for making such honest and raw music. I am a big fan of the delta and hearing you incorporate some of it in your songs from time to time fires me up!!! Thank you!!!
A few simple chords , a hip shaking foot stomping beat , and a voice that sounds like it starting heating up in the middle of the earth and erupted out of a volcano. Negrito , putting it down like its supposed6 to be , thanks
Today was my first encounter with this man`s music........Diggin` It !!! Great energy, great message, great music. Vocals remind me of Gary Clark Jr. These two would compliment each other beautifully LIVE. I will be pre-ordering this soon ! Keep On Keepin` On..........
Beautiful, magnificent and a opulent expression of the soul. I additionally love the facts around in the middle of the video. You connected the problems of murder and it's ties to antidepressants along with other meds for mental problems (Psycho stimulants as I like to call them) and how they can affect people long term in ways not intended and hell even give withdrawal. I love your soul and the message it stands for you're a man that's sure as hell reborn.
I love how this boii started out and now it's getting bigger... I love your style man,don't ever change and wish you the best of luck in your career :,^)
Nothing has moved me this much since 1972. This is a legend in the making.
Just had a late coffee and FANTASTIC was sitting next to me. I told him his music is on fire and he said "come to my concert tonight"... Nothin but class!!!!
Was that you at the Peppermint?
Nah, I was the guy at BluJam Cafe on Melrose. We were talking about how my 6yr old digs your music and style!!!. I showed him the photo and he almost fell over! You made his day...and mine. Keep the music coming- next time the coffee is on me!

i would love to see this man live, he sounds like the real deal
His brother is a history professor at the jr college I went to

He IS the real deal. No doubt
Amazing live! ua-cam.com/video/EY-DE6Jd5YQ/v-deo.html
Love Fantastic Negrito, so talented and the music changes, sound, feel, melodies. A true songwriter and musician!
Huge goosebumps, hair on my neck standing and that uncontrollable smile feeling that starts in my gut. Haven't felt that in a long long time. Thank you Fantastic Negrito, Thank you !

This is real blues.
Not an imitation.
WOW
Been waiting for years for this bus to come along!!!!
Yeah, this is heavy
He has a voice that takes you on a journey, where there is no option but to go along. If I'd not heard another person sing, I'd be happy having just heard him.
Masters of the blues on the background...
Just listened to this on the radio while driving in the night through north Italy, It took one song to convince me to buy the tickets for the concert in Milan, simply amazing music
Can't wait to hit Milan on tour! Spread the word molto grazie!!!
Do it!! He opened for Temple of the Dog and it was mind-blowing!

Damn...is this what blues sounds like? This is awesome🔥
I thought this was considered rock but then I searched the genre, google said it was blues.

Suuuuper!!! fantastic song.
Great song by a Great(Fantastic) Artist!
The last album was pretty decent but this song makes me think this album can be legendary. Best song he's done. Can't wait to hear more.
The fans will make it legendary. We live in times where artists and fans need to unite in building something bigger and better than ourselves.
Fantastic Negrito I agree with that. Also it made my day that you replied to me lol
This is great stuff. Awesome tune and video. Glad to have discovered this band. Now I just gotta catch a live performance! Keep on rockin' fellas
toneDeFguitar thanks very much !! Our tour dates are fantasticnegrito.com
A few simple chords , a hip shaking foot stomping beat , and a voice that sounds like it starting heating up in the middle of the earth and erupted out of a volcano. Negrito , putting it down like its supposed6 to be , thanks
great quote! Thank you
@@fantasticnegrito I think it should be backwards tho- negrito fantastic
I am shaking-
This is just sooooo good-
Qué música más buena!!! Este tipo es la cañaa. iiii ME ENCANTA!!!!
I stumbled upon this on Spotify, was drawn to it by the cover...Must say, fantastic! Love when I find new good things!!!
Génial ! Quel talent ! An amazing artist !
I´ve selected this song for one of my crazy yoga choreographies it inspirates me!!! great song!!!!
Answer the question Mr Negrito, have you any idea how great you are?
Just heard this song on the radio in Australia. Had to look it up. So damn cool. ❤
Good to know. What station?
Double J doublej.net.au/
thank you
You're welcome :)
I just had to buy all his CDs. Just a necessity. JB hadn't heard of him. Now they do.
Muchas gracias por el aporte. Saludos desde Sevilla-España.
Just awesome.
Today was my first encounter with this man`s music........Diggin` It !!! Great energy, great message, great music. Vocals remind me of Gary Clark Jr. These two would compliment each other beautifully LIVE. I will be pre-ordering this soon ! Keep On Keepin` On..........
Yes the compliment is much appreciated! GCJ is dope.
I pre-ordered your autographed Vinyl today.
Can`t wait to spin it and enjoy it !
Amazing!!! I love this song!!
Found this through a facebook friend. Never heard of him. I like.
Love that kick drum sound.
Beautiful, magnificent and a opulent expression of the soul. I additionally love the facts around in the middle of the video. You connected the problems of murder and it's ties to antidepressants along with other meds for mental problems (Psycho stimulants as I like to call them) and how they can affect people long term in ways not intended and hell even give withdrawal. I love your soul and the message it stands for you're a man that's sure as hell reborn.
All these things are interconnected. I hope our country can heal
I love how this boii started out and now it's getting bigger...
I love your style man,don't ever change and wish you the best of luck in your career :,^)
God bless you!
Love this, cool blues rock sound going on.
so glad I came across you folk. Incredible song
The fact that Fantastic Negrito himself is replying to comments here is awesome!!!
kachokilombo thanks man. I try my best. The people are my record company I eat because people support my art and I’ll never forget that
You rock! I heard this song on the radio and became an instant fan. Super powerful. Hope to see in Oakland soon!

Love that riff
A 100 kmh nel bosco con il mio atv, e questa musica nel casco!!! Grazie bro!
That was Fantastic! Good message.
