Ibeyi is a French (with Cuban, Venezuelan and Tunisian origins) musical duo consisting of twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz. The duo sings in English, French, Spanish and Yoruba, a Nigerian language spoken in West Africa by their ancestors before being taken to Cuba as slaves in the 1700s. Lisa, the lead singer, plays the piano; Naomi plays the traditional Peruvian/Cuban percussion instruments cajón and Batá drum. In the Yoruba language, Ibeyi (Ìbejì) means "twins".Their music has elements of Yoruba, French and Afro-Cuban, and fuses jazz with beats, samples with traditional instruments. more »

Don't worry you're alive, put your lighters up
They want to tell us how to think and how to laugh
And how to cry and how to move
Listen, give me a second, let me find a f*ck (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Poor George Floyd died on the floor and everyone saw
So now I sip Don P because I can afford it
If they decide tonight that they all wanted to fight
Then I'm the first guy that's standin' in line for the war

Society's arms of control, yeah
They think they're smart, well, think again (oh, oh, oh, oh)
They laugh at us behind our backs
Find satisfaction in what they lack, yeah (oh, oh, oh, oh)
