KC Turner's Cookout Series Presents Fantastic Negrito at Hopmonk Tavern
Date: Saturday, September 7, 2024
Time: Doors Open at 4:00pm and Show Starts at 6:00pm
Part love story, part history lesson, Fantastic Negrito’s extraordinary new album, White Jesus Black Problems, is an exhilarating ode to the power of family and the enduring resilience of our shared humanity. Inspired by the illegal, interracial romance of his seventh generation grandparents—a white indentured servant and an enslaved Black man—in 1750s Virginia, the collection is bold and thought provoking, grappling with racism, capitalism, and the very meaning of freedom itself, all without ever losing sight of the desire and determination at the heart of the tale. While each track could stand easily on its own, stepping back to absorb the album and its companion film in their full context yields a far more transcendent experience, one that challenges our notions of who we are, where we come from, and where we’re headed.
General Admission Tickets are $50.00; General Admission Ticket, plus Cookout Meal is $73.00, with service charges on both. Please purchase your online tickets in the above website link.
