Ibeyi in San Francisco

Ibeyi is a French musical duo comprised of twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz. Their music is a distinctive blend of Yoruba, French, and Afro-Cuban elements, fused with jazz, beats, and samples from traditional instruments. The duo sings in English, French, Spanish, and Yoruba, reflecting their multicultural upbringing in Paris and Havana.

At their San Francisco performance, attendees can experience the sisters' unique instrumentation: Lisa on piano and Naomi on cajón and Batá drum. The duo's deep spiritual connection to their Yoruba roots and Cuban heritage creates an intimate and powerful atmosphere. Their live shows often feature evocative covers and original compositions that showcase their genre-defying sound.

The Diaz twins carry forward the legacy of their father, Grammy-winning percussionist Anga Díaz, and are guided by their mother, Maya Dagnino. Influenced by artists like Frank Ocean and James Blake, Ibeyi continues to push musical boundaries while honoring their ancestral traditions.
