JonathanADec 16, 2004This is music that would charm the birds Banhart is a folk legend. He said himself that one day he was thinking a bout singing and discovered that he can sing about anything he wanted. That is what makes his music brilliant.

Like its companion recording, Nino Rojo is about the shared delight of new encounters with music and language and is an adventure in the hearing.
