    Duende or tener duende ("having duende") loosely means having soul, a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity, often connected with flamenco. The artistic and especially musical term was derived from the duende, a elf or goblin-like Magic creature in Spanish mythology.

    Origins of the term

    El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical/emotional response to art. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive. Folk music in general, especially flamenco, tends to embody an authenticity that comes from a people whose culture is enriched by diaspora and hardship; vox populi, the human condition of joys and sorrows. Drawing on popular usage and Spanish folklore, Federico García Lorca first developed the aesthetics of Duende in a lecture he gave in Buenos Aires in 1933, "Juego y teoria del duende" ("Play and Theory of the Duende").

    Killing Joke

    Killing Joke is an English post-punk band formed in October 1978 in Notting Hill, London, England. The original line-up included Jeremy Jaz Coleman (vocals, keyboards), "Big" Paul Ferguson (drums), Kevin "Geordie" Walker (guitars) and Martin "Youth" Glover (bass).

    Their first album Killing Joke was released in 1980. After the release of Revelations in 1982, bassist Youth was replaced by Paul Raven. The band achieved mainstream success in 1985 with both the album Night Time and the single "Love Like Blood".

    A key influence on industrial rock, their early music was described by critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and John Dougan as "quasi-metal [...] dancing to a tune of doom and gloom", which gradually evolved over the years, incorporating elements of electronic music, synthpop and gothic rock, though always emphasising Coleman's "savagely strident vocals". Killing Joke have influenced many later bands and artists, such as Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. Coleman and Geordie have been the only constant members of the band.

    Life On The Streets

    by: Duende

    Brownside - Life on the Streets Lyrics
    It's an everyday thing on the east of town
    Times ain't good, but they won't hold me down
    I'm out to get mine and won't get left back
    I can't get me a job, but I can get a dope sack
    In my hood everyday, gettin off my slangs
    I'm not really trippin off money, cuz I'd rather gang bang
    And kick back with my homeboys who are down for me
    From the evil side representing one-three
    And the ways in my neighborhood ain't nothin nice
    You gotta be down or else your payin the price
    Cuz for me to do good others must do bad
    What makes me happy might make you sad
    I need to straight come up so I can earn my way out
    Broke motherf**kers don't carry no clout
    The hood that I'm from is where I proved my name
    And the streets where I live is where I got my fame
    (Chorus)
    Don't push me cuz I'm losing my head
    The way I live I might end up dead
    I can't ever forget the crazy things that I've done
    A young gang-banger livin life by a gun
    Doin down ass things to make you learn quick
    The kind of crazy things that make people sick
    Some might not agree, but I have to survive
    And by me doing wrong is gonna keep me alive
    So I try everyday to learn the tricks of the trade
    Savin up my money cuz I don't get paid
    I know I do bad but I do it real good
    Cuz that's the way I learned in my crazy ass hood
    Growin up in the streets of SB and LA
    Where a youngster couldn't even hang around and play
    Drive bys, drug deals, bases everywhere
    Crack babies being born and their moms don't even care
    Don't think for a minute that this shit ain't real
    Cuz life on the streets might get you killed
    (Chorus x2)
    Times are bad and everything is hard
    Got no money, don't own no car
    With some old ass clothes, no food to eat
    And some burnt out Nikes coverin up my feet
    You get your first impression by the way I look
    He's a gangster, a killer, and a no good crook
    Just cuz I'm broke don't mean I'm a punk
    Lemme explain myself in five minutes of funk
    Everything I've done that has been wrong
    I just kick back and write it here in my song
    Cuz life on the streets is rough as f**k
    Vatos tryin to hit licks so they can come up real tough
    Rapping is my hustle, alls I need is a beat
    So I can tell my little story about life on the street
    And I'ma do what it takes, so I can survive
    This is mad ass Danger from the Brownside
