Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, known artistically as Fantastic Negrito, is one of the great innovators of contemporary blues and R&B. His talent was evident with “The Last Days of Oakland” (2016), which was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album at the 59th edition of the awards. It was not an isolated case: he repeated the victory in the same category with “Please Don’t Be Dead” (2018) and again with “Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?” (2020), which makes him a triple Grammy winner.
