Adelaide
Event
Grammy Award-winner Fantastic Negrito brings explosive energy, fierce storytelling and genre-bending sonic fire to his live performances. He mixes blistering rock and roll grit with infectious R&B grooves and buoyant funk energy to deliver a sound that manages to feel both vintage and experimental all at once. Fantastic Negrito's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of music. Raised in an orthodox Muslim household, he survived a doomed major label deal and a near-fatal car crash that permanently damaged his guitar-playing hand. But his remarkable resurgence began in 2015 when he won the inaugural NPR Tiny Desk Contest, launching a new chapter defined by artistic freedom, raw honesty and global acclaim. Since then, Negrito has collected three Grammys for Best Contemporary Blues Album; performed at major festivals including Lollapalooza and Glastonbury; collaborated with the likes of Sting, E-40, Tank and The Bangas; and shared stages with Sturgill Simpson, Chris Cornell and Bruce Springsteen.
