Audio Sample: Interview – Ibeyi

Experience the joy of Ibeyi. That’s Yoruba for twins and this duo are twin sisters, Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz, from France. They have an intoxicating sound that merges pop, hip-hop, African and Cuban grooves, and harmonies that only twin sisters have. Their father was a percussionist in the Buena Vista Social Club and their mother was French-Venezuelan singer. Their charming and exuberant sound raised the roof at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville. We talked to them on April 16, 2023
