Listening Party: Fantastic Negrito, 'White Jesus Black Problems'
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
In 2020, while looking back through his family tree, Grammy-winning musician Fantastic Negrito learned that his seventh-generation grandparents had been a white indentured servant from Scotland and an unnamed enslaved man, living in a common law marriage in 18th-century Virginia. The discovery inspired Fantastic Negrito to write an album about their union, titled White Jesus Black Problems. Fantastic Negrito joins us for a Listening Party. Fantastic Negrito will perform at BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! this Saturday.
