Ibeyi in Philadelphia

Ibeyi, the French musical duo of twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, bring their unique fusion of Yoruba, Afro-Cuban, and jazz influences to Philadelphia. Singing in English, French, Spanish, and Yoruba, their music blends beats, samples, and traditional instruments—Lisa on piano, Naomi on cajón and batá drum—creating a deeply spiritual and rhythmic experience.

The duo, daughters of famed Cuban percussionist Anga Díaz, grew up immersed in Yoruba folk songs and Afro-Cuban traditions. Their live performances channel this heritage, often covering Jay Electronica and paying tribute to Santería. Expect an intimate, soulful set that weaves together electronic textures with acoustic roots, honoring their father's legacy and their own artistic journey.
