Fantastic Negrito - Grandfather Courage ELECTRIC BLUES + ACOUSTIC ROCK | FLAC | CUE | LOG | PNG COVERS | 303MB | 46:55 Storefront Entertainment 2023 Цитата: There are the stories we tell ourselves and the stories that tell us who we are or could be. We encounter stories that either constrain or expand the categories through which we understand our place in the world. Sometimes they converge, and sometimes they conflict. Rarely are they static. Humans are narrative creatures; we see ourselves in story and song. We forge our paths as both scripted and scriptwriters and occasionally find hidden tales that, when brought to light, open up new vistas of connection and meaning. Such was the experience of the artist Fantastic Negrito (né Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz), whose brief dalliance with an ancestry website led to the remarkable discovery that his seventh-generation grandparents were a white Scottish indentured servant named Elizabeth Gallimore and an unnamed enslaved black man who, according to charges brought against her in a colonial Virginia court, was in a common-law marriage with Gallimore. Through the discovery, Fantastic Negrito found his narrative disrupted in exciting and creative ways, a symbolic story enfolded within the broader contested history of the United States. A three-time Grammy award winner for Best Contemporary Blues Album, Fantastic Negrito channeled this discovery within the story of his lineage into one of his most creatively ambitious projects, 2022s White Jesus Black Problems. The critically acclaimed album (listed within PopMatters Best 80 Albums of 2022) was an exhilarating feast for the musical senses with its potent fusion of roots and blues, funk, rock, and jazz with occasional psychedelic flourishes. Within this album, Fantastic Negrito lets the story of his seventh-generation grandparents come to the fore. This allowed the themes of their courage, audacity, and resilient love to interact narratively and musically with the brutality of racial capitalism that is the perduring watermark on the American narrative. here are the stories we tell ourselves and the stories that tell us who we are or could be.
