Naomi and Lisa-Kainde Diaz are daughters of the late Cuban percussion Anga Diaz. Naomi plays percussiveinstruments, the Cajon and the Batas, while Lisa plays piano. Together the twins have learned the songs of theirfather's culture, Yoruba.

 

Yoruba travelled from West Africa to Cuba with slavery in the 1700s. The Yoruba people have the highesttwinning rate in the World, and twins occupy an important position within Yoruba culture. Ibeyi is pronounced"ee-bey-ee" and translates as "Twins" in Yoruba.

 

Ibeyi sing in English and Yoruba, and have created a minimalist sound that merges elements of their heritage with their natural love of modern music as teenagers grown up in Paris, citing artists such as James Blake and King Krule amongst their wide range of influences.
