Released in 2015 on the renowned XL Recordings label, Ibeyi is the striking debut album from the Franco-Cuban twin duo of the same name. Blending electronic production with soulful vocals and West African Yoruba spiritual traditions, the album creates a sound that is both deeply personal and wholly unique. It serves as a heartfelt tribute to their late father, the celebrated Cuban percussionist Angá Díaz, weaving his influence throughout the record.
Ibeyi stands out as a genre-defying debut that draws from electronic, soul, and pop while remaining anchored in rich cultural heritage. Recorded and mixed at Studio RLR in London, the album features the duo's own songwriting alongside traditional Yoruba lyrics, offering listeners an intimate and immersive experience. The vinyl edition comes wrapped in a distinctive outer card sleeve split into two parts, adding a thoughtful aesthetic touch to an already compelling release.
