What the press is saying about duendita:

“fragility meets pugnacity” The New York Times

“warm soul, and great emotional depth.” Pitchfork

“a voice that seems to defy the laws of this realm” Teen Vogue

“inspiring the type of warm, calming introspection that makes you appreciate everything around you” Alternative Press

“duendita crafts music that heals” The FADER a strong desire to survive

New York City’s duendita released a strong desire to survive via 10k in April 2025. The 10-track project embeds the listener into duendita’s spellbinding realm and follows the lauded EP the mind is a miracle released in 2024.

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.” a strong desire to survive includes the previously shared track “baby teeth,” which includes a sample of 9 vocalists, singing in harmony as a choir – all recorded in duendita’s bedroom, along with the track “cutie.” The upcoming project’s visual direction is equally as poignant as its musical heart. duendita enlisted friend and artist Kiyomi Taylor to create the cover art, which features an image of a deep-sea creature who has adapted to survive in the most grotesque way. “She’s grown long nails, gills, scales, and killer teeth, just to survive. At first glance, the man in the image looks like her next meal, but in reality, she wishes she could hold someone without scratching or hurting them,” duendita explains. “This image mirrors the themes of the project – survival, transformation, and the struggle to love and be loved.”

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.
