Ibeyi is a French-Cuban musical duo consisting of twin sisters, Lisa- Kainde Diaz and Naomi Diaz. The duo sings in English and Yoruba— a Nigerian language their ancestors spoke before being brought to Cuba by the Spanish to be made slaves in the 1700s — though Lisa’s is the lead voice. Naomi plays traditional Cuban percussion instruments cajon and Bata drum, while Lisa also plays piano. The twins were born in Cuba, where they lived for two years and often visited yearly on holiday, but were primarily raised in Paris, where they currently reside.
