Devendra Banhart and Natalie Portman In Super-Secret Video
devendra

Eccentric Venezuelan/Los Angelino merry folkster, Devendra Banhart, shot a new music video last weekend that stars one of our favorite people ever, Natalie Portman (seriously, she’s like the nicest person in the world). Oh but here’s the funny part. While both Portman’s folks and Devendra’s folks confirm this shoot took place over the weekend, at Banhart’s crazy canyon home in LA, neither camp WILL SAY WHAT SONG THE VIDEO IS FOR. They’re keeping it very secret and stuff.

We think that’s just silly.

Is it a song off of his recently released Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, or perhaps it’s that exclusive Devendra song that appeared on the compilation Portman put out to benefit FINCA, the microfinance charity she’s a big supporter of.

Anyone know? We’re working on pictures in the meantime.

[UPDATE: It’s for the song, “Carmensita,” off of Smokey - confirmed by the label. Awesome, we love that song!]

Also, for those who only read this for Idol and Fall Out Boy coverage, here’s a primer on Devendra - TOTALLY WORTH CHECKING OUT.

  1. Yeah...um...free-form lyrics and all of that other stuff. That's called bullsh**.

    People (esp. like Portman - girl, shame!) fall for this every time. I can see why though, he looks really cute under the fuzz. Great artist, not so much.
  2. he seems cool to me, and as far as the lyrics go.. they're unique. he's expressing himself- his prerogative. no one's making you buy his cd's.

    natalie rocks, and from what i've seen she's drawn to offbeat types. she's not 'falling' for anything. he seems sincere.
  3. He IS sincere. I met him backstage at a concert and chatted with him for a while. Nicest, friendliest person I've ever met. Beautiful music.
  4. Devendra is a great artist.. he's really intelligent. I'm glad he's getting some coverage (maybe now he'll come to the east coast... philly... yeah)
  5. Devendra is AMAZING. The music and lyrics literally transport you away. For people who are open to new musical experiences, this is one of the greatest. I admire Portman and suppose it is cool that two great people are together, but it speaks better of her than him...
  6. aww , love his music but i thought he were together with one of the girls from cocorosie .
    i hate natalie portman she and kate moss are taking all the nice handsome men away from me .
  7. wow that was amazing!!
    I'm so glad I checked this out!!!
  8. I love Devendra and I hope to hold him in my arms one dya. I love his creativity and I want to give him a spiritual boner.

    Love,
    Boris!

  9. it is this kind of acceptance's of decadent western freak folk nonsense that drove the russian federation into near cultural and economic collapse under boris yeltsin. shame on you, boris.

    and anyone who thinks devendra banhart is sincere hasn't seen him stalking silver lake in his denim tuxedo. obvious hipster garbage.
  10. what a phony.LOL!!!
  11. Devendras music truely is beautiful and sincere. The live show... is hands down amazing. Everyone should give him a chance.
