Fantastic Negrito NPR Tiny Desk Concert

[@coolcoconuts4453]

This dude is not only one of the most criminally underrated musicians going around right now, but the dude is a dead set fashion icon as well

[@OliverHecht]

First I heard him I was completely "wowed". He's majestic and his songs are amazingly good

[@HighBeatz82]

Wrong bro - this guy is a fuckin criminal but one of the most underrated musician in the business!!!

[@nigelbateman616]

3 time Grammy award winner now. Awesome

[@lordundhimself1310]

People who say music isn't good anymore are simply not looking. There are more artists making interesting, passionate music than ever before

[@JoaoRoseiraBorges]

Completely agree

[@israelfrankcore7870]

People don’t share nor like, artists are submerged in a void of commercial trash

Im so proud of being chilean hearing this amazing guitarrist being from my country, i discovered Fantastic Negrito last year and haven't sotop playing him since then, KEEP ROCKING OMG U R GREAT GUYS

[@painfullsolitude]

"you take the things that are broken that are messed up and you make them better. " brought me to tears. i was in a coma for a month and woke up with my entire body broken head to toe and that was in 2014. Wish i had heard your beautiful heartfelt music earlier, you sure are a bright light. thank you and wishing you the best

[@juliasharp2857]

I hope you have recovered well

Tellement bon...j'apprécie vraiment chez Fantistic Negrito cette constance dans sa production...il n'y a rien de mauvais. On peut avoir des préférences, mais le soin est apporté dès l'écriture, et le reste suit avec une incroyable qualité à tous les étages de la construction...tous ses albums, toutes ses prestations !!

[@plynbass1292]

Great singer, great band, raw, organic, real, like old blues. They have a great chemistry together. Real talent, no electronics or gimmicks, the way real music is created

I can't believe this. I have no words. This is far too good and this format suits his sound SO DEEPLY... Totally breathless

[@TheOtisUpham]

The singer and the pianist are fucking fire. What an unbelievably perfect voice. I love every part of this so much.

[@user-zg1qz8oz2u]

Been a fan for a long time. Glad to see more people appreciating your musical genius!

[@tamaramoreira7790]

Lost in a crowd You feel your thoughts out loud Lost in the wilderness of the sound Get through the day, don't drown Life it goes fast, youth is gone Feeling of loss Come on, grieve, move on Stuck in the shadows of a life That you tried to leave behind Games people play Slave through the year for a holiday Stuck in a room for too long Waiting to hear your favorite song Wait! Panic, Freak out I'm out on a ledge Shapeless expressions, lame dead Eat till you're fat, eat till you're dumb Spend all that money until you come Well you travel, and we travel Trying to find it I know that neither one of us No, neither one of us can survive it No the good Lord We travel and we travel Trying to find it We're just people, lonely people, you and I Come on Get yourself Get yourself Get yourself Stand in line, wait for your turn, don't you cry Here they make the best dream pie You took their money, now you die Feelings of rage, broken bones Lost in a crowd Now you're on your own This is your life, now you're gone There's no tomorrow It's here, it's on Well we travel, and we travel, Trying to find it I know that neither one of us No, neither one of us can survive it Good, good, good Lord We travel, oh we travel Trying to find it We're just people, lonely people, you and I We're just people, lonely people, you and I I tell you We're just people, lonely people, you and I La la la, la la la, la la la La la la, la la la, la la la La la la la, la la la Lonely people Lonely people

[@acmemusicgear5806]

Folks...you are all on point with your comments. Xaviers music is the real deal. Soulful, heartfelt, intelligently written and unique. At a personal level I can share with you that he is genuinely lovely bloke. Down to earth and loyal. He just had twins! His success could not have come at a better time.

[@Lisa_Evers]

When I watch this, I can't help but feel like his every pore...his every sense (sight, smell, hearing, etc.) is working in perfect concert during this entire performance. His every cell is that of an artist, creating a masterpiece. I've never seen such a singer that uses his body almost like that of a dancer...an actor....pulling it all together into one performance...

[@shawn13mertle13]

What this talented man has gone through to make it here is unreal.

[@polvodehornear]

the way he delivered the first lines of the 3rd song (and some other lines within that song) reminded me of "seven nation army" a lot. amazing artist. can't believe how many times I saw the thumbnail of this performance and didn't click on it :oooooo

[@kiwiphrase]

Can we just give props to his accompanying pianist? He's spectacular

[@Curucuncucus]
