Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz
Bio
French-Cuban twins, Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz, are Ibeyi. The duo have been creating quiet, shimmering, hypnotic musical magic since childhood, but sharing it publicly since their first self-titled album on XL Recordings in 2015. Just over a decade on, the sisters have gifted the world with albums Ash in 2017, Spell 31 in 2022, and now, Offering, released this year. It is their first independent release, the result of a broad set of collaborating musicians and producers, and a willingness for both Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé to take on new instruments, roles, and experimentation. While their earlier music has been influenced by tarot and witchcraft, the song “Offerings” begins with the line: “I don’t make spells anymore, now I make offerings.” Lisa-Kaindé is London-based, while Naomi calls Paris home.
