Devendra Banhart is an American singer-songwriter and visual artist, known for his idiosyncratic musical style that fuses elements of folk, psychedelic, and lo-fi aesthetics. His songs, often characterized by his distinctive, wavering vocals and impressionistic lyrics, have been influential in the development of the "freak folk" genre. Banhart's 2004 album, "Rejoicing in the Hands", is considered a seminal work in this style. Despite his American upbringing, his Venezuelan roots often shine through in his music, adding another layer to his complex artistic identity.
