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