Thanks to the folks at Fanscape, we're giving away a pair of tix to the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, June 29. Gilberto Gil and Devendra Banhart are sharing the bill as part of KCRW's World Festival, while The Album Leaf feat. Mike Heron from The Incredible String Band is opening.
More details here. The basics:
The inspiration for this pairing began with Banhart, a Texas-born, Venezuela-raised world-folk epicurean who exploded on the international music scene in 2002, quickly winning instantly devoted fans and hefty critical acclaim. He often identifies Tropicalismo pioneers as major influences, including Gilberto Gil, one of the most relevant contributors to the Tropicalia and bossa nova movements. The artistic match fit perfectly into the KCRW World Festival series, one that strives to present non-traditional, one-of-a-kind, concerts by pairing artists from different genres and locations from around the globe. Banhart performs in support of his fifth release, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon.
Gil appeared on the very first year of the World Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in 1999, and returns for the tenth anniversary of the series’ adventurous programming with a full band line-up, performing repertoire from his new release Banda Larga Cordel.
