My brother sent me this video of a group called Mumford and Sons singing a song called Little Lion Man. I had never heard of them, but I love this song. This group has what the Spanish call duende. It’s soul. It’s authentic emotion. It’s tough to find, and when one finds an artist with it, you should support it. I’m going to buy this music right now. Also, it’s a simple but cool video.

i’ve been jammin to these guys lately! they’re great. spread the word
Yes, duende translates to soul (in the musical/artistic sense), but I love its origins. As I understand it, duende originally referred to a fairytale goblin. In the artistic sense, the goblin is the dark side that tries to consume the artist. Meanwhile, the artist fights to keep creating. If all goes well, though, the battle results in the spine-chilling sublime. It’s one of my favorite things I ever learned about Spanish culture.
I love this group haha I think it’s funny we never brought it up when we were working or anything haha
yeah! I love them I want to see them live so bad.
