Duendita Has A Massive Voice

It’s not everyday that someone’s overall being completely moves you. Duendita, Candace Camacho, has a low pitched voice that immediately radiates from her soul to yours in an inexplicable transfer of spiritual vibrations. Her voice is unique and unlike anything on our mainstream radios. This is the music you listen to on a rainy summer day with places to go, but with only yourself as company. Not in a negative way. Her music touches your spirit in a way that taps into your core, and allows you to be.

In an interview with Pitchfork, the method in which she came up with her stage name is explained as being,”inspired by the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca’s concept of duende—that inexplicable, mysterious feeling when a piece of art makes the hair on your arms stand up.”

Duendita currently has a 10 track album out titled “direct line to My Creator” on Bandcamp.

One of the tracks included is “blue hands” (watch it below!) which is, “a condemnation of racialized police brutality” and where she “speaks to the way she fosters community.”

How she got started in music was as organic as the sounds she creates. She told Pitchfork:

“I’m very loving and full of joy, but I’m also depressed all the time,” she explains. “Maybe everything that has happened in the world has just created this divided person. I often think, Colonization has divided me this way. I cannot recognize myself. I do not fit in America.”

She also expressed that as a child, her mother encouraged her to be creative,“not so that I could be something, but so I could be OK.”

We recommend her for the love she puts into her albums and out into the world. Her incredible voice is destined to shake the music industry.

She sings, “I wish you a long, long, long black life”
