Fantastic Negrito: Real Black Roots Music

Night Has Turned to Day

It's A Long Long Road

This song, Half-Crazy, could be described as the tenacious offspring of the North African desert music of Mali/Morocco and the sweat and electricity of the Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues. That music is like a stem-cell, really open to going in many directions. On this track, we wired the harp through a dirty little amplifier. I played my early 40's Oahu lap-steel. Andrew uses a loping high-hat feel, and the electric bass pushes the whole thing. The lyrics got a nudge from our friend Nathan Moore--we're all half-crazy, half clear as a bell.

A New Beginning

“ONSTAGE GALACTIC IS A FIRST-RATE FUNK BAND. IN THE STUDIO IT HAS BECOME A PERPETUALLY RECOMBINANT GROUP OF MUSICIANS, PRODUCERS AND CONCEPTUALIZERS, HOOKING UP WITH COLLABORATORS FROM NEW ORLEANS AND FAR BEYOND.”
                   — THE NEW YORK TIMES

“IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE THE INFECTIOUS ENERGY AND THRILL OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY THE NEW ORLEANS BAND GALACTIC.” 
                                                                                        — NPR MUSIC

HAILING FROM NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – GALACTIC HAS BEEN EXPLORING THEIR SEEMINGLY LIMITLESS MUSICAL POSSIBILITIES FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. SINCE THEN, THE BAND HAS CONSISTENTLY PUSHED ARTISTIC BOUNDARIES ON THE ROAD AND IN THE STUDIO, APPROACHING THEIR MUSIC WITH OPEN EARS AND DRAWING INSPIRATION AS MUCH FROM THE SOUNDS BUBBLING UP FROM THEIR CITY’S STREETS AS THEY DO FROM EACH OTHER.

GALACTIS’S NEW RELEASE “INTO THE DEEP” – COMING OUT ON JULY 17TH - FEATURES COLLABORATIONS WITH ARTISTS THEY’VE MADE CONNECTIONS WITH OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS — INCLUDING MACY GRAY, MAVIS STAPLES, JJ GREY, RYAN MONTBLEAU, DAVID SHAW OF THE REVIVALISTS, MAGGIE KOERNER, BRUSHY ONE STRING AND CHARM TAYLOR.

THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM IS “INTO THE DEEP” – FEATURING MACY GRAY.

FANTASTIC NEGRITO

...is the incarnation of a musician who is reborn after going through a lot of awful shit. In fact, the name Fantastic Negrito represents his third rebirth, literally coming back from death this time. 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. These are singular songs by a true musician who writes and produces his own work. His songs are his fuel as he continues on the third comeback of his life, at a time when our world is in upheaval.
