“Pure bohemian romance with magnetic, swooning beauty" – The Guardian
“A brilliant baby's-eye view of the world.” – NME

The charming, witty, whimsical work of songwriter Devendra Banhart is often classified as “freak folk”, but that’s far too dark a descriptor for music that brims with infectious energy, hearty laughs, and bossa nova-laced grooves.

Over 9 studio albums, he’s come to define the burgeoning genre of alternative folk music: tunes that sound fresh, yet as old as the hills. He’s created a whacky, inscrutable world, with a sound that somehow blends “Axl Rose, Kurt Cobain, Mick Jagger, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Ali Farka Toure.”

It’s weird, but weirdly irresistible. “Anyone who can sit down and write this many unique songs,” said one breathless review of his last album, “has to have something abnormally genius working inside.”

We’re delighted to welcome the abnormal genius of Devendra Banhart to China. Beijing on Saturday, 9 June at Yugong Yishan. In the man’s own words, “you’ll never have seen such good things.” This will be a special set, with Devendra performing as a duo.
