IBEYI [Havana Cultura]

Technically speaking, “ibeyi“ is the word for twin in Yoruba—the West African language that was transposed to Cuba at the time of slavery. However, if you’ve been listening to trendy European radio stations as of lately, the term is more likely to evoke an up-and-coming French-Cuban twin-sister duo composed of Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Díaz that fuses urban beats with electronic music and Afro-Cuban chants.
