For the Record #88: Fantastic Negrito’s “Please Don’t Be Dead”

Oakland’s own Fantastic Negrito has a story worthy of a Hollywood movie, and he uses his incredible life experience to bring emotion and depth to the modern blues fusion of his latest record, “Please Don’t Be Dead.” We discuss it in depth in episode #88 of “For the Record.” Photos above were taken by GG at Fantastic Negrito’s performance at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in 2015. Photos from his SXSW performance in 2016 are here.
