Alongside “big one,” duendita shares the visualizer filmed at Baketown in Berlin. duendita describes the new offerings as songs about feeling so grateful in the club, the gratitude was overflowing. duendita goes on to share, “My dear friend and collaborator Noah Becker made these beats, and we loved performing them live in harmony, so we decided to record all of our vocals on the track — Emily Akpan and Vanessa Camacho are featured vocalists. We've been performing together for the past 7 years, so finally collaborating in the studio was so special. I went to the club 5 nights in a row, saw the sun rise every single morning, then wrote ‘big one.’ These tracks are made with a lot of love from my family and I to yours!” “bassline” and “big one” follow duendita’s participation in the Hypetrak’s first issue back in print, where duendita is highlighted as a Shapeshifter and performed “big one” at the magazine release party, along with some other new tracks. You can read the full piece HERE and order the magazine HERE.  This spring, duendita joined MIKE on tour for a run of nine shows and also joined MIKE in his NPR Tiny Desk Concert as a back up vocalist. duendita also just came off a run of shows in New York City where they performed with Maxo, Body Meat, and Damballa, respectively.

Purchase tickets and see full live dates HERE.  Also this year, duendita shared the standalone track “piel,” which arrived this June. The aforementioned project a strong desire to survive was born from duendita’s transformative experience during their first extended trip to Berlin where they first met longtime collaborators Noah Becker and Anton Remy. “We would jam all the time at Baketown, our recording studio and art space in Schoenberg. It was an era where I'd write on their beats or at the piano, and I couldn't stop writing about the pain,” they share, “all these bangers came out about how badly I wanted to live and overcome it all.”  duendita is a band from Queens, New York. They write and produce their own music, imbuing it with a reverence for their ancestry, community, and faith. Anchored by achy, bass-coated tones and mix of jazz, piano, soul and R&B, duendita's music is evocative of the complexities and sentimentality of the human experience. Flowing in various shapes and formations, duendita is a living collaborative project made with family and friends across mediums and cities. Last year, duendita shared the project the mind is a miracle, which received praise from the likes of The FADER, CLASH, Pitchfork and more, and features the track “born with power.”  Check out “bassline” and “big one” above, see live dates below, and stay tuned for more from duendita coming soon.
