Listen now
Description
Ahead of the release of their highly anticipated 3rd album featuring the likes of Pa Salieu, Jorja Smith and Berwyn we are joined by the legendary duo Ibeyi - twin sisters Lisa-Kainde and Naomi Diaz. They talk us through their new song “Made of Gold” and the power behind it.  Lisa and Naomi take turns to read a truly poetic extract that delves into the origins of Ibeyi, the importance of the name and how it’s shaped their lives and music now. The twins reflect on support, the opposition of their personalities and familial love as a way of pure connection to each other and their audience. You can listen to Ibeyi on spotify here.
