It's hard to make heads or tails of Devendra Banhart the first time you hear him. Listening to his music, you might think he's a hippie, a Latin folk artist, or a traditional American folk artist. But confusion soon gives way to delight. One thing that's undeniable about his work, and that everyone can agree on, is that it's brilliant, and his live shows are even better.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela and showing a knack for creative expression from an early age, Banhart found his way to the San Francisco Art Institute, where he began to consider performing music professionally. He released his first LP in 2002, entitled Oh Me Oh My… In a few years, he became a critical darling, and his fan base has been growing since then.
Devendra Banhart's lyrics have a tendency to be more than a little ridiculous. Many of his lyrics will leave you scratching your head. The trick is, don't think too hard about it—just let the music carry you away, and you'll understand why concert tickets for his shows sell out so fast.
