After Devendra Banhart earned himself a reprieve from the DrownedinSound readers – you overturned our original 2-1 vote to 3-4 in favour of Banhart being ‘the real deal’ rather than a ‘wacky chancer’ – Devendra has gone on to mimic your charitable behaviour.
First, he helped Mountain Party with this Madonna covers record to raise some money for ill Malawian children and then he dug in for Natalie Portman on her Big Change: Songs for FINCA iTunes mixtape.
Now, Portman has returned the favour to complete the circle of good will – she stars in Bahart’s new video for ‘Carmensita’, reports MTV.com. The footage was shot at the folk artist’s “crazy canyon home in LA” apparently.
Recount: Devendra Banhart – the real deal or wacky chancer?

this sounds like a good idea
Natalie Portman is fit and some of Devendra's music is half decent, so I may be able to combine two of my great loves : wanking and listening to music
.
that just made me laugh so much i spat my coffee out in the teachers lounge. funny looks all round! she is incredibly lovely though
Natalie Portman loses points for associating herself
with this pile-of-wank musician
natalie portman
will never lose points.
Under all that hair and wackiness
there's a half decent musician. I'm sitting on the fence on this one.
wack
chancer
There's a fine line between wacky and wack. But he crosses it
Tell me about it
:(
why do many of his songs
involve child love?
is he a paedo?
