Duende (art)

Common card · No. 457862

Duende or tener duende ("to have duende") is a Spanish term for a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity, often connected with flamenco. Originating from folkloric Andalusian vocal music (canto jondo) and first theorized and enhanced by Andalusian poet Federico García Lorca, the term derives from "dueño de casa" (master of the house), which similarly inspired the duende of folklore.
