Devendra Banhart, who kicked off his twenty-five city North America tour in Ventura, California, last night, stopped by the KCRW studios in Santa Monica on Monday to perform five songs from his new album, Ma, on Morning Becomes Eclectic. You can listen to the session—including live takes on "Is This Nice?," "Carolina," "Kantori Ongaku," "Taking a Page," and "My Boyfriend's in the Band" from the new album, plus "Never Seen Such Good Things" from his earlier album, Mala—from the on-air broadcast below. Also below is an online exclusive performance of the Ma track "October 12" and his chat with KCRW's Raul Campos.
Banhart's tour continues at the Fillmore in San Francisco tonight, followed by shows in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Mexico City, Detroit, Toronto, Brooklyn, and more in the months ahead. He heads to Europe to tour in January and February. For details and tickets, see below and visit nonesuch.com/on-tour. Banhart has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every US headline-show ticket sold will go to World Central Kitchen to fight hunger around the world, and in Canada to support Rainbow Railroad to help LGBTI people around the world escape persecution and violence.
To pick up a copy of Ma, head to your local record store, Amazon, iTunes, and the Nonesuch Store; the album can also be heard on Spotify and Apple Music.
