One would think that Devendra Banhart’s publicist has us wrapped around his finger -- considering the praise we heap on this groundbreaking artist. Not true. Our admiration of Devendra is purely organic. See our previous post on “I Feel Just Like a Child.” Not only is Mr. Banhart a diverse musician who – much like Ween – grabs pieces of various genres and makes them his own, but his Spanish songs are truly authentic -- like something played out of a tappas bar in Madrid.
Santa Maria de Fiera is one of these tunes. This song is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. To hear the tune, check out this YouTube clip. Very clever use of a baby orangutan.
As an added bonus, here’s him playing another Spanish tune in Poland. Enjoy.
