Part love story, part history lesson, "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 7th 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.
Negrito grew up in Oakland, CA. After a car cash nearly robbed him of his ability to play guitar, he began an unlikely redemption arc in 2015, when he won the 1st NPR Tiny Desk Contest, followed by taking home 3 consecutive GRAMMYs for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
