What's up with this hat? Well, in one sense it's an attempt at a cheeky Ram Dass joke (we love you Ram Dass!) And in the other sense it's really about putting yourself in someone else's shoes, seeing yourself as the other, this is how we practice compassion ya know what I'm sayin?! uh huh! This new hat is now in the merch store and all T Shirts are now 20% off for the week. Shop here: https://www.musicglue.com/devendra-banhart/

Here are few songs by the Artists we have lovingly chosen for this years Le Guess Who Festival. I listen to everyone on this mix EVERYDAY ! i take them with me wherever i go, like magic totems , like spirit animals , like a dear friend. I bow to them in gratitude , for they have made joy sweeter and suffering less bitter. Here is but a little glimpse , of music so gentle , of music so wild , of music so gentle AND wild! What an honor and thrill , to leave the deeper discovery of their work to you! Enjoy and see you soon!

Hola! If you’re in Japan, hope to see you at Hotel Anteroom Kyoto on Sunday for this Fukushima charity show! (Photo from Friday's event at VACANT in Tokyo.) ❤️🌈☮️ Every sale will directly benefit: ● Mothers' Radiation Lab Fukushima: http://www.iwakisokuteishitu.com/english/index.html ● Tohoku Youth Orchestra: http://tohoku-youth-orchestra.org/english/ ● Foster care for children in Fukushima: http://www.fukujidou.org/english/

There is always a way to help, to reduce some suffering on this planet, and when a terrible disaster first strikes, it’s important to give our immediate attention and help in whatever way we can. But the rehabilitation and reconstruction of an entire region of our planet does not happen overnight, and so our efforts, small or large, must be consistent and sustained. In Fukushima, there are still families who have yet to find the bodies of their loved ones, there is still infrastructure that needs rebuilding, still so many people suffering and fighting just to put the pieces back together. Exhibits in Tokyo and Kyoto will show a series of new drawings inspired by Fukushima, where every sale will go directly to: ● Mothers' Radiation Lab Fukushima: http://www.iwakisokuteishitu.com/english/index.html ● Tohoku Youth Orchestra: http://tohoku-youth-orchestra.org/english/ ● Foster care for children in Fukushima: http://www.fukujidou.org/english/ Thank you with all of my heart and look forward to seeing you there: Friday, December 8 VACANT, Tokyo 18:00 - 20:00 Sunday, December 10 Hotel Anteroom Kyoto 18:00 - 20:00 More info on the exhibits: https://www.vacant.vc/single-post/devendrabanhart2017
