It was only when the American freebooter Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz started calling himself Fantastic Negrito when he was 45 that the heavens began to smile on him.
He fled a strict Muslim family when he was twelve and spent the following years between street gangs and foster families.
Prince’s Dirty Mind inspired him to start making music, but it was only after he had become a father and was playing a Beatles song for his son that he decided to have a go at a career in music. His funky primal blues now sounds stronger than ever, and even won him a Grammy.
When Bernie Sanders heard “Working Poor”, he immediately asked him to perform at some of his election rallies.
FANTASTIC NEGRITO 25/6, 20.00, Ancienne Belgique
