Fantastic Negrito at Glastonbury 19

[CajunMoon]

Did anyone watch him this year? Would love to read some feedback.
After seeing him at Blackdeer Festival a couple of weeks ago (whilst aware of only a couple of songs)  I was absolutely blown away by how great he was live. I saw that he was headlining Leftfield on Sunday night after an early Saturday afternoon Other stage slot and was expecting/hoping to read a lot of chat on here about him being a surprise act of Glasto19.

Heard he was quality. Could have saw him as was there for Cat Empire but ended up mooching to Strummerville so we could chill in the shade for a bit and pull ourselves back together for the day ahead.

Some of my mates stayed and said it was a fantastic set though.

Very much enjoyed him, thought he was great! I saw him on T'other stage, would of liked to of seen him on Leftfield, but tragically clashed!

[kaytee...]

Had no idea who he was, I was waiting for Maggie Rogers but he was fuckin ace

[Kashkin]

I saw him on the other stage and he was good but the experience was a bit affected by the extreme heat at that point, it was hard to really concentrate on the music. 

[Giraffe Man]

Amazing in Leftfield, one of my highlights 

[Amy Lawn]

Very good but I had to cut my viewing short to get out of the heat.

Saw him in Leftfield where he was really excellent, great way to end my festival. Loved it when he was having monitor problems and he managed to work the line "the bass on my monitor is breaking my fucking ear" in to the song.

Brilliant to read these comments thanks  – I'm really pleased the set I saw wasn't just a one off great show. His energy is immense!

I saw him in Leftfield as well. Absolutely no idea who he was but absolutely loved him. 

So is it a solo act then rather than a band? I thought the keys player was absolutely fantastic.

Saw him on Other (on my own - friends not keen). Thought he was absolutely brilliant. Loved it. No-one else is souding remotely like that at the moment, a real original artist. Would definitely go and see him outside a festival.

Saw him at the Other stage. Despite being hugely hungover and generally ill I massively enjoyed him.

[MEGABOWL]

Saw him on the Other, absolutely brilliant set.

Also his band were stood next to me for a while at The Cure so I quietly shook the Bass/Keyboard players hand and told him how great their set was. He seemed to really appreciate it.

Yup, count me in as another who saw him in the Leftfield tent Sunday night.

He was absolutely awesome, great show and great way to finish Sunday night

Saw the second half of the Other Stage set sat with a burrito... I hadn't heard of them before and I was really impressed!

[Fizzpop]

Saw him (or is it the name of a whole band?) in Leftfield on the way from Kamasi Washington in West Holts over to the Other to see Christine and The Queens - it sounded so great we went in and watched for a while. Really energetic and fab sounds. Had to look up who they were after. Quality.

His keyboard player (Bryan Simmons) and drummer are regulars, There's a new guitarist because his former guitarist moved to Chile to take care of family.

Saw them in Leftfield on Sunday - cracking set and someone who was on my list.
