In the last three years, Fantastic Negrito, an Oakland-based black roots revivalist, has gone from busking at bus stops to winning a Grammy and touring internationally. He's done this by creating a unique sound – melodic hooks, primal blues-rock chords, clever lyricism, a killer falsetto, and in-your-face social consciousness. In this broadcast, we learn about Fantastic Negrito's journey, his creative process, and how he's utilizing his artistic platform to advocate for social justice.
