Ibeyi: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Ibeyi

Ibeyi is a French duo led by twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, working at the intersection of pop songwriting and Afro-diasporic rhythm. Their music moves between English, French, Spanish, and Yoruba, with the group name drawn from the Yoruba word for “twins.” Onstage at New York City’s Irving Plaza, they center close vocal blend and spare, pulse-driven arrangements that leave room for percussion and texture. Their performances tend to favor clarity and restraint over spectacle.
