Grammy-winner Fantastic Negrito joins us for an evening of music and conversation.
About this Event

Since winning NPR’s inaugural Tiny Desk Concert in 2015, Fantastic Negrito has gone on to take home Grammy awards for Best Contemporary Blues Album in three separate years. But joining the long line of Bay Area Music success stories didn’t come fast or easy for this son of Oakland.

From his website:

The narrative on this man is as important as the sound, because the narrative is the sound. Songs born from a long hard life channeled through black roots music. Slide guitar, drums, piano. Urgent, desperate, edgy. Fantastic Negrito is the story of a man who struggled to “make it”, who “got it”, who lost it all, and somehow managed to find his way back.

Hosts Mina Kim and Alexis Madrigal will team up for a special evening taping of Forum, where interview will be woven with an intimate musical performance to bring the narrative to life.
