Fresku

(Netherlands, 1986), whose real name is Roy Michael Reymound, is a rapper, actor and cabaret artist. Fresku, which means "cheeky" in Papiamento, made three successful rap albums and, together with producer Teemong, YouTube videos with socially critical messages. In 2016 he debuted as a cabaretier in Welkom bij de Fresku Show (Welcome to the Fresku Show), a musical comedy act about his Antillean-Dutch identity. His 2019 show Voordat het te laat is (Before it's too Late) reveals him as a master storyteller. Fresku also likes to participate in public debate, for example via a video clip in which he makes it clear that too little music by rappers of colour is being played on Dutch public radio; and in the clip Canon he and Arjan Lubach take a stand about the historical Dutch role in colonial trade and slavery.
