el duende

The duende is a rarely explained concept in Spanish art, particularly flamenco, having to do with emotion, expression and authenticity. In Spanish, the primary definition of duende refers to a fairy- or goblin-like mythological character. While its nature varies throughout Spain and Latin America, in many cases its closest equivalent known to the Anglophone world is the Irish leprechaun.

From this original meaning, the artistic and especially musical term was derived.

"So, then, the duende is a force not a labour, a struggle not a thought. I heard an old maestro of the guitar say: ‘The duende is not in the throat: the duende surges up, inside, from the soles of the feet.’ Meaning, it’s not a question of skill, but of a style that’s truly alive: meaning, it’s in the veins: meaning, it’s of the most ancient culture of immediate creation.
"This ‘mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher has explained’ is, in sum, the spirit of the earth, the same duende that scorched Nietzsche’s heart as he searched for its outer form on the Rialto Bridge and in Bizet’s music, without finding it---"
"The arrival of the duende presupposes a radical change to all the old kinds of form, brings totally unknown and fresh sensations, with the qualities of a newly created rose, miraculous, generating an almost religious enthusiasm."
"All the arts are capable of duende, but where it naturally creates most space, as in music, dance and spoken poetry, the living flesh is needed to interpret them, since they have forms that are born and die, perpetually, and raise their contours above the precise present."

Se dice que es un niño que murió sin ser bautizado o un niño malo que golpeó a su madre. Es muy pequeño, lleva un sombrero grande y llora como una criatura. Tiene una mano de hierro y otra de lana, cuando se acerca a alguien le pregunta si con cuál mano desea ser golpeado. Algunos dicen que, sin importar la elección, el duende golpeará siempre con la de hierro. Otros, en cambio, aseguran que los desprevenidos eligen la de lana y que es ésta la que en realidad más duele.

Posee unos ojos muy malignos y dientes muy agudos. Suele aparecer a la hora de la siesta o en la noche en los cañadones o quebradas. Tiene predilección para con los niños de corta edad, aunque también golpea sin piedad a los mayores.

En la zona de los Valles Calchaquíes existen dos historias muy curiosas con respecto al duende:

Una cuenta que un arqueólogo, internándose en el cerro a horas de la siesta escuchó el llanto de un niño. Al acercarse vio un párvulo en cuclillas y con la cabeza gacha. Cuando le preguntó si qué le sucedía, el niño alzó su maligno rostro y mostrando sus agudísimos dientes al tiempo que sonreía, le dijo:
- Tatita, mírame los dientes...

El "gringo" salió corriendo tan veloz como las piernas le daban y nunca regresó.

La otra historia, narrada por Lucindo Mamaní, de Tafí del Valle, cuenta que se vió al duende conversando en un zanjón con un niño que estaba a su cuidado (actualmente un prominente médico). Al acercarse don Lucindo, el duende -llamado "enano del zanjón" por los lugareños- salió huyendo.

The Chimu
Eight hundred years B.N. a great city was raised (I think by humans) at Chan Chan, on the Peruvian north coast just insland. It soon ruled an empire second only to what the Incas eventually created two hundred years later. Their textiles are so well made that they are superior to any other made at the same time in Asia or Europe. One fact: European and Asian tapestries usually had about 40 threads per centimeter, the Chimu tapestries about 100 threads per centimeter. It was a rigid caste society which explains why it collapsed quickly when the Incas invaded it.
