Devendra Banhart: ICA, London
Caroline Sullivan, The Guardian, 2 June 2004
AS HIS FIRST NAME SUGGESTS, Devendra Banhart's parents were "alternative" types. He has certainly done them proud, growing up into a folk-hippy with a beard that could house a sparrow. Though he is 23 now, the beard and his straggly hair make him look several times his age. His high, quavering voice, which sounds not long broken, is the only indication that the grizzled pavement philosopher with the acoustic guitar is younger than most of the audience.
