Devendra Banhart: Carmensita (music video)

Sort by Boing Boing (Free subscription) - 08/02/2008

I pretty much could not love this video any more than I do. Hindu gods, Naturalismo, Natalie Portman, psych-folk-en-español, and the funkiest dance of destruction ever to come out of the Bhagavad Gita by way of a Caracas 'shroom stash. It's the first video from Venezuelan-Texan Devendra Banhart's latest album, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. Felicidad ciento porciento garantizado, homies. (Thanks,...

I’m pretty sure the single greatest advantage to being a celebrity is getting to date other celebrities. Let’s face it, they’re hot, they’re rich, and the odds are pretty good you won’t have to be with them more than a year or two. Talk about variety. Plus you can use them in [...]

Well, this is sorta unexpected. A full 10 months after Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon hit stores, Devendara Banhart releases the first proper video from the album, and it looks like it actually cost a few bucks and also stars his girlfriend, Natalie Portman. Like last year's clip for M.I.A.'s " Jimmy ", the saturated aesthetic of Bollywood serves as the inspiration. [From Smokey Rolls Down Thunder...

Natalie Portman dressed up as a Bollywood princess for her boyfriend's new video, “ Carmensita ." Natalie and folk singer Devendra Banhart have been boinking for about 4 months now. I sort of have a minor crush on the bearded lady known as Devendra Banhart. I mean, Devendra Banhart sounds like the name of a silent movie star from the 1920s or the name of a gay pirate.

I was catching up on news at Huffington Post this afternoon when I came across this really disturbing (yet oddly compelling ) music video by Devendra Banhart featuring his hottie girlfriend, actress Natalie Portman. I like that the video (to his song "Carmensita") even starts out like an authentic Bollywood movie. Even though I don't see what she sees in this disheveled mess of a Venezuelan "folk...
