Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Duende" mean?
El duende is the spirit of evocation, it comes from the inside as a physical / emotional response to art. It stems from flamenco. When watching a particularly inspiring performance, it is said that "you have/feel feel duende".
It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive.
