Devendra Banhart is best known for his psychedelic tendencies and South American jazz undertone. His most recent work, 'What Will We Be' is his 6th studio recording, and arguably his best to date. 2009's What Will We Be is filled with smooth summertime melodies found on the fun upbeat hits 'Baby', '16th & Valencia Roxy Music', and 'Foolin', as well as a more mellow folk influenced sound on 'Angelika', 'Goin' Back', and 'Can't Help But Smiling'. A noticeable Latin presence, provided by his Venezuelan upbringing can be heard on the tracks 'Maria Lionza', 'Walilamdzi', and 'Brindo'. Banhart has spend the last few months touring the US and is currently making his way down the West Coast throughout the next week. In case you missed his recent stop in the NW, Devendra can also be seen performing with the group Vetiver whom will be rocking the stage at Sasquatch! Festival 2010.
