noun, the power to attract through personal magnetism and charm
The magician was not only a talented illusionist; he also had the duende that kept the audience rapt throughout the entire show.
The word "duende" refers to a spirit i Spanish, Portuguese, and Filipino folklore and literally means "ghost" or "goblin" in Spanish. It is believed to derive from the phrase dueno de case, which means "owner of a house." The term is traditionally used in flamenco music or other art forms to refer to the mystical or powerful force given off by a performer to draw the audience in. The Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca wrote in his essay "Teoria y juego del duende" ("Theory and Play of the Duende") that duende "is a power and not a behaviour ... a struggle and not a concept." Nowadays, the term appears in a broader range of contexts to refer to one's unspoken charm or allure.
