Ibeyi is the
self-titled debut album from Cuban-born, French-raised twins Lisa-Kainde
and Naomi Diaz. The daughters of Cuban percussionist Miguel "Angá" Diaz
(who was a performing member of the Buena Vista Social Club) and
Venezuelan mother Maya began making music upon their father's passing in
2006. After XL label boss Richard Russell caught their video for "Mama
Says," he tracked them down in Paris' Montparnasse neighborhood and
signed them. The recording is the first to come from the label's brand
new London studio. Ibeyi's sound is deliberately sparse, as reliant on
Santerian religious chants as it is on 21st century Euro soul.
Lisa-Kainde sings lead and plays piano; Naomi sings harmony and plays
West African drums -- cajón and batá -- both elemental parts of the
Afro-Cuban musical lineage.
The sisters
sing in both English and Yoruban, the latter inherited from their
father's spiritual and cultural heritage. Russell is not just the
album's producer but an anchor, a collaborator, and a guide. His snaky
synths, samples, and beats are used sparingly but add an earthy depth to
the otherworldly characteristics in Ibeyi's music. The set opens with a
chant to Eleggua -- the orisha (deity) who opens the roads of all
things in the Santeria religion. It is followed by what amounts to a
soulful, hymn to "Oya," the goddess of winds and storms. Ibeyi move to
more earthly concerns with an elliptical piano wed to the ground with
layered, organic drums in the erotically charged, ironically titled
"Ghosts." "River," with its fat, distorted, low-end bass drums, ethereal
funky guitars, and piano vamp is infectious with a dark, souled-out
vocal. This direction continues on "Stranger/Lover," with its driving
synth bassline, lisping hi-hat, cajon, and spidery piano lines.
Lisa-Kainde delivers a jazzy soul vocal. Simultaneously, "Mama Says"
recounts their mother's grief after the passing of Anga and their own
exhortation to her to go on living. Framed by funereal piano,
reverb-laden bata and cajon, and sparse piano, the sisters again invoke
Eleggua in the skeletal bridge. "Yanira" evolves from broken-hearted
want to open-hearted affirmation. Ibeyi's sound has no direct referent,
though their music would be right at home with other artists of the
electro doom soul generation, from FKA Twigs to BLK JKS to Benjamin
Clementine. Their songs of family, love, lust, and spirit pair perfectly
entwined and complementary voices. The musical and sonic palettes
reflect both the world of human existence -- ancestry and physical
geography -- and the "other" realm that informs it -- a doorway of
feelings and senses that is invisible yet ever present. |
