According to theGuardian.com:
Pedigree only goes so far in explaining the allure of 19-year-old Franco-Cuban twins Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Díaz. Their late father was feted conga player Miguel “Anga” Díaz, who recorded with the Afro-Cuban Allstars and Buena Vista Social Club. But Ibeyi – Yoruba for “twins” – sound entirely like themselves: 21st-century operators with an ear for digital production as well as the chants that came to the new world in the African diaspora. You could label their songs “soul” for lack of a better umbrella term, because tracks such as Mama Says, River andOya deal with yearning, suffering and spirituality. But they nag like pop music, and don’t sound out of place on a label such as XL. KE
