Mala

Today I'm going to wirtte about an album I like a lot, but as always, I've got to say, I don't like to talk with favouritism. This album is Mala, from Devendra banhart. The style is called “psychedelic folk”, “indie folk” or “freak folk”. It have songs in english and spanish wich is so amusing for me to sing. Also their songs are very interesting exercises for me because they're not tipical song at all, and he sings in a very low way.

Devendra Banhart is the real name of the singer, and visual artist. He's half Venezuelan (mother side), half north-american. He became's from a spitirual family. In fact his name is synonymous of Indra (sun's god), that was suggested by his father's spiritual master.

As I've said, he's musician but also visual artist. He's musical work is always comlemented with a psychedelic audiovisual work, that personally I like so much.

This album have cute songs, some of them pretty funny but chill, some others so nostalgic. I've met this album once I wanted something to listent meanwhile I was building a model for my architecture class, and a friend of mine that's the coolest person in the world, shows me that album. She just hits the spot. Really cool album.

I have just good memories with this album. It save me on the road to Peru once. I hear it with my boyfriend often. And he's cool too.

Here's a great song from it, enjoy it!
