“I'm interested in Qawwali and the blues.” — Devendra Banhart Quote

“I'm interested in Qawwali and the blues.”

“I'm getting older and I'm just coming to terms that I'm stuck with me so I better try to like myself.”

“I live in a total bubble where I assume everyone is super-liberal and democratic.”

“I had an invitation to contribute a track to a Robert Johnson tribute album, and it was the first time I'd done anything like that in my life. I was not brought up with the blues or anything like that, and I really, really enjoyed it.”

“As I started to study old blues recordings and really pay attention to my favorites, it really started to come to me that all of my favorite pieces of music weren't produced, they were performed. The producer is nearly invisible: no thumbprint other than the composition and the performers.”
