Duende
Understand what the Spanish mean by Duende....
Federico Garcia Lorca [1898-1936] gave a famous lecture on La Teoria y Juego del Duende - The Theory and Function of Duende.
Lorca says:-
"These dark sounds are the mystery, the roots thrusting into the fertile loam known to all of us, ignored by all of us, but from which we get what is real in art....
"Thus duende is a power and not a behaviour, it is a struggle and not a concept. I have heard an old master guitarist say: 'Duende is not in the throat; duende surges up from the soles of the feet.' Which means it is not a matter of abililty, but of real live form; of blood; of ancient culture; of creative action."
"Salud, pesetas, amore, y tiempo para gustarlos." - Health, wealth, love, and time for us to enjoy them. (Spanish proverb)
