Duende

Eso tiene duende !
The duende is a force,an interior feeling, that churns inside the heart,soul,spirit,guts and all internal organs.How can one find words for a sensation that cannot be explained...I have that duende in me,ripping me apart,tearing me up.
Something is bleeding inside of me, besides my heart,my soul and spirit like a river running non stop.

Federico Garcia Lorca wrote The Duende. http://www.musicpsyche.org/Lorca-Duende.htm

I remind myself of Pedro Manuel Gismondi,a charismatic curator and art professor in Brazil,when he told me how he recognized an artist.
" when you want to touch the art, the painting or sculpture" .A sensation that grabs you,and tantalizes you.
And now a musician, the composer Osvaldo Golijov,
