Naomi Diaz picked up her late father's cajón, the wooden box drum Anga Díaz played behind Irakere and the Buena Vista Social Club, and built half of Ibeyi's sound around it. She and her twin sister Lisa-Kaindé wrap that percussion in Yoruba chant, Afro-Cuban rhythm, and electronic production, singing across English, French, Spanish, and Yoruba on an XL Recordings run that's moved from their 2015 self titled debut through Ash and Spell 31, picking up Kamasi Washington, Pa Salieu, and Jorja Smith as collaborators along the way.
