10 MP3 Songs
LATIN: Rock en Espanol, WORLD: World Fusion
Details:
El Duende is a creature of pure inspiration, the agent of a passing moment of brilliance which can only be perceived and captured in the art it inspires. It is said that when a singer or a dancer performs with a passion beyond the realm of his experience, he has been visited by el duende, who has entered him like a vision from beyond this time and place.
El Duende has created a blend that merges their love of rock music with the older, ancestral strain of Spanish music. It is wholly original and combines Latin percussive rhythms with guitars that move from simple grace to jarring discordance.
The band was voted best World Beat group at the annual Jammy awards in 1995 and lead singer Oscar Herrera was nominated for best male vocalist.
In August of 1996, the band was one of three bands featured in a three part special on Latin Rock that was televised on Telemundo''s Channel 51. That same year, Oscar was included in a back-to-school campaign for Burdines, the local department store chain, that included radio, television and print advertising. The band was also featured in Burdines'' radio campaign.
In October of 1996, El Duende signed to ''Cane Records, The University of Miami label. The band released their debut album in April, 1997. The C.D. was produced by Mike Couzzi.

In September of that year, El Duende was chosen to showcase at MIDEM, the annual, international music conference that was held in Miami for the first time.
