And what a debut it is.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it may be early for such predictions, \u201cIbeyi\u201d is certain to be among the best records of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>These twin sisters\u2014barely 20 years old\u2014have managed to record an album that effortlessly weaves together the disparate strands of West African folk, Cuban jazz, soul, blues and contemporary R&amp;B, into something greater than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more prominent features characterizing \u201cIbeyi\u201d is its many apparent contradictions. Steeped in tradition and yet thoroughly modern, it is in many ways a reflection of the myriad influences that came to bear on the sister\u2019s trans-Atlantic upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Cuba, the girls grew up mostly in Paris, though they made frequent visits to the Caribbean. Their father was the acclaimed Latin jazz percussionist Miguel \u201cAng\u00e1\u201d D\u00edaz, who played with the famous Buena Vista Social Club, in Havana. His spirit is alive and embodied in their music, which relies heavily on traditional Cuban percussive instruments such as the caj\u00f3n and the bat\u00e1. Naomi has said in interviews that she learned many lessons from her dad, but one of the most important was a love of rhythm.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25620\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-25620\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"&quot;Ibeyi&quot; Out now on XL Recordings\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=250%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=480%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=90%2C90&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 90w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?resize=270%2C270&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Ibeyi_01web.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Ibeyi&#8221; Out now on XL Recordings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But \u201cIbeyi\u201d gets the heft of its emotional impact by drawing back to a much older Cuban musical tradition\u2014one that stretches all the way back to West Africa. The Yoruba language, in which much of the lyrics are sung, is from a culture and religion brought to the Caribbean through the slave trade in the 1700s.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these songs such as \u201cRiver\u201d and \u201cYanira\u201d are essentially 21st Century versions of ancient Yoruban folk songs, while songs like \u201cGhost\u201d are odes to the spirits of ancestors. Both sisters sing, and both have a bluesy earthiness to their voices that suggests wisdom beyond their mere 20 years on earth. Their frequent use of call-and-response-style vocals recall the \u201cspirituals\u201d sung by slaves as they worked in the fields.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of modern club music\u2014both of European techno and of American hip-hop and R&amp;B\u2014is \u201cIbeyi\u2019s\u201d other guiding light. The songs are crafted using cutting-edge style production (complete with synthesizers and a heavy emphasis on sub bass) that would hold its weight in a club against any contemporary pop music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIbeyi\u201d is about opposing forces, and it is this interplay between yin and yang, mind and spirit, old world and new that makes it so remarkable.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIbeyi\u201d is out now on XL Recordings. They are also preparing a North American tour and are scheduled to appear in San Francisco April 2 at the Independent.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Atticus Morris Ibeyi\u2014pronounced ee-bey-ee\u2014is a Yoruban, Nigerian word that translates roughly to the concept of \u201csacred divinity of twins.\u201d It is also the name that Lisa-Kaind\u00e9 Di\u00e1z and Naomi D\u00edaz have adopted for their self-titled debut album, released earlier this month on British record label XL Recordings.
