בספרו Duende, מנסה להתמודד Jason Webster
עם השאלה "מהו דואנדה" לאורך כל הספר... בפעם הראשונה שהקורא נתקל במושג הזה, שואל פדרו את ג'ייסון (כתוב בצורה של memoir):
"Did you feel it?" "Yes", I said. "No," he said. "Did your really feel it?" I couldn't speak. The performance had filled me with something I had never felt before, and didn't know how to describe. "That was duende," he said.
בהמשך הערב, לאחר שההופעה הסתיימה, שואל ג'ייסון את פדרו:
"what is duende?" He didn't reply at first, but waited until we had emerged onto the esplanade. "Duende," he said. "Duende is duende. More than this you will have to find out for yourself, mi querido Watson. That is, after all, what you are here for."
הספר, אגב, מומלץ בחום לכל גיטריסט פלמנקו...
