"Whips up a crowd with their exuberant funk-pop tunes... but all six musicians perform empty-handed. Duwende is a band foremost and an a cappella show second. Their bubbly funk and hip-hop-fueled tunes draw fans more for their refreshing, expansive sound than their novelty." - The Boston Globe
Duwende (Doo-WEN-day) first came together in late 1998. The New York-based band focuses on shows in traditional rock clubs and venues, but they also appear at special events, private functions, music festivals and colleges all around the county. Major a cappella shows they've co-headlined include the East Coast Summit, SoJam, and AcappellaStock.
In the 2002 Independent Music World Series, the editors of Billboard Magazine chose Duwende as one of the "Top 6 Indie Acts in the Northeast."
In 2005 millions of television viewers saw Duwende performing their own, original music in an ad campaign for 1.800.OKCable.
Duwende's two most recent albums (2004's "Radio Screaming" and 2007's "Collective") won the 2005 and 2008 Best Pop/Rock Album and Best Pop/Rock Original Song CARAs.
