@@itsnotaphasemom4789 it’s a song and a prayer for the Orishas of Yoruba this one is for Oshun the orisha of Love, Abundance, & Sexuality people who practice Ifa, Santeria, Lucumi, Regla de Ocha.
Because their father is an Afro-Cuban. He has Nigerian ancestry and I would guess he taught them to speak Yoruba and practice the religion. I am not Yoruba or Cuban but if you watch/read some Ibeyi interviews you'll hear there is a significant amount of Yoruba people in Cuba
No mixturé indigenous of Cuba,,only Europa ,África,Asia,the are not indigenous in Cuba,thats is our history,sorry;mixture france in her case,but cuban too.
lol in cuba they considered white you gringos need to stop with your race obsesion in cuba we call black cubans just cubans smh theres no need for afro thats some gringo shit
They are of the Yoruba faith. This song is a prayer to Oshun the river deity. Being of Cuban descent, they are in touch with the faith of their ancestors, commonly known as Santeria among our Latino brothers and sisters.

This is so intense just watching her (or them) being underwater for what seems to be an eternity. Updated: The Cuban French twin sisters are 19-year-old Naomi and Lisa-Kainde Diaz. They are daughters of the late Cuban percussion Anga Diaz. Naomi plays percussion (the Cajon and the Batas) while Lisa plays the piano. Together the twins have learned the songs of their father’s culture, Yoruba. Ibeyi is pronounced “ee-bey-ee” and translates as “Twins” in Yoruba. Ibeyi sings in English and Yoruba and has created a minimalist sound that merges elements of their heritage with the contemporary music they’ve grown to love as teenagers in Paris, citing artists such as James Blake and King Krule amongst their wide range of influences. Ibeyi are the first French artists directly signed for World by one of Beggars Group label in 30 years! they are on the loose again and ready to take the US by storm! One of their bigger gigs includes Webster Hall in New York, where they’ll be playing on October 2nd! Come listen to their strange and beautiful tunes sung in English and Yoruba - an ancient Nigerian language their ancestors used to speak before arriving in Cuba - on Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with fuse jazz beats.
Iniye Spiff "Ibeji (known as Ibejí, Ibeyí, or Jimaguas in Latin America) is an Orisha. They are syncretized with Saints Cosmas and Damian. In Yoruba culture twins are believed to be magical, and are protected by a deity named shango."
+Mario Datzit I understand Yoruba culture because I am Yoruba, so I know what twins mean to us. I was just saying in Nigeria we Yorubas say Ibeji and that I've never heard Ibeyi before.. (so it must be a variant spelling from their ends)
innovative and comforting talented french-cuban twins mixing culture, knowledge and feelings influenced from cuban folk music, electronic, french jazz and pop music
I understand what you are saying, KumZ Burning.Some singers really bring life a word and paint a beautiful picture with their voice. This reminded me the time I got goosebumps when I heard the word 'rain' in 'The Gift' by Anne Lennox.
Hey, cuban here 🙋♀️, could you write down the lyrics of the Yoruba part, and of its not much trouble, translate it for me 🙏 I was told that is mostly the song from when Oshun got Oggun out of the woods???
I think that this is a wonderful song by fantastically talented artists. I am very disappointed by many of the youtube comments these days, though (both here and elsewhere), with the insults and name calling that some just can't help themselves from uttering. Everyone's tastes, likes, and dislikes will always be diverse and different. Thanks Lisa and Naomi for sharing your music, and great luck with your careers.

@Dee-gl5uh it's good to use music for healing.. feel no shame in drowning your overwhelming feelings for it will keep you afloat. Love to you from America.
This song does something to my inner women. Deeply spiritual. Amazing...Latinas start to uplift your African heritage like these beautiful young artists. Great job girls : )
Ibey helped me in turbulent pase of my life, I was emotianily ill and they songs help me so much to not lose holp on myself. And today years later I'm much better and back on track. thanks for those touching and deep songs Ibey. Big hug from Brazil ❤️
I do not understand for the life of me why they aren't playing this type of good sounding REAL music on mainstream radio anymore! The radio stations these days are playing nothing but recycled trash from people who call themselves artists but who are devoid of talent and creativity. I am so thankful to hear REAL ARTISTS such as Ibeyi who actually take me back to my high school years of the late 90's up until 2000 as well as the early 2000's of anticipating new fresh music while glued to the radio because the music was so much better back then and most definitely better from the 60's-90's. Thank you Ibeyi for helping me to remember what "good current" music used to sound like...It is so refreshing to hear music that is different and current. Keep up the good work and I know your Father is looking down and very proud of the both of you!
You know if you really want to hear music like this on the radio, support radio stations and buy the racks these artists put out. Especially now. Plus ask yourself, how do YOU actively try to find alternative stations instead of automatically going to the typical mainstream? Each station is loosely grouped into genres and of course there are local and regional stations. For all we know songs and music like this is a part of a town, city, or even regional mainstream which is AMAZING!!!!
The sister duo of Ibeyi cultivate their vast cultural lineage through powerful seductive vocals and often times perplexing imagery. The yin and yang are always in constant motion. Their heritage and creed as Afro-Venezuelan, French women really makes for a stark take on their musical output. There is a very colloquial feeling that I have heard from Zap Mama, Les Nubians, and Ayo. The structure of their songs follows a similar journey. Although nowhere near as melodic and polished of a sound as Zap Mama and Les Nubians. Ibeyi the duo have a commanding, almost haunting vocal presence. When combined with the cinematography in their videos. The entire product is overtly symbolic of a diaspora. Even this video is slightly sublime, yet uncomfortable to watch. Them being raised and lowered in the "wash" of River is a very personal and spiritual submission. Take note.
Actually yes I just write it so the author of the previous post could see that you weren't wrong when you sais they were cuban. Maybe I am wrong, maybe I read your post too fast but I thought t you at first sais that they were afro-cuban. So I wrote to say to both of you that you weren't totally wrong. ps : sorry for my english I am not a native speaker
I would love to meet these girls. I am all about supporting artist who aren't as mainstream because they are the only ones actually making music anymore and it is so new and fresh and the future of music. But people are too worried about mainstream celebrities and when the next one will fuck up.
Go to one of their shows, they are both such lovely girls. I chatted to them on Skype a couple of weeks ago and they are so genuinely kind and truly grateful for everyone's love.
This is one of the most amazing performances of a song that I've ever seen. These 2 young women are phenomenal! The effort and the teamwork it took to pull off this video is astounding to imagine. ❤🎉
Osun the Ifa deity of Love, Beauty, Intimacy, Freshwater, the Osun River & Wealth in the Yoruba Kingdom. Beautiful realistic blend of water, clothing, title and language representations. Hats off!!!
J'adore ce clip ! ... J'comprends pas les paroles, mais d'après la qualité visuelle et original du clip, ce doit être a la hauteur. Merci les filles et bonne continuation. Bises de France 💋
***** It depends on your upbringing & beliefs. If you are looking at them from a Christian or Muslim prospective then they'll be labelled witches. But if u r looking at them from a traditional belief prospective then, they'll be labelled followers of mother nature.
Ever since the first time i watched this I've held my breath to match theirs. I've finally been able to do so and sing along with them. I love this. #Oya 🖤⚡🌪
Just an over all beautiful execution of message, visual and audio the way she says “ego” and “water” makes me feel purified melodies ibeyi is a force I reckon with
If you watch carefully a lot of the time they spend underwater is repeated in reverse, so the long parts at the start and the end are actually about half the time. That's not to say they didnt take millions of takes though. Kudos.
Breathtaking. Literally
Looooool 🤣

+Taciano Messias Moraes Not at all..! ;p
+Taciano Messias Moraes I'm asthmatic & i aint even feeling the glimpse of the 1st sign of any vacuole overflow. U prolly have mommy issues :)
I'm no prolly. But you could be right with the mommy issues.
+Taciano Messias Moraes hold on let me research that word quick
I would love to meet these girls. I am all about supporting artist who aren't as mainstream because they are the only ones actually making music anymore and it is so new and fresh and the future of music. But people are too worried about mainstream celebrities and when the next one will fuck up.
Go to one of their shows, they are both such lovely girls. I chatted to them on Skype a couple of weeks ago and they are so genuinely kind and truly grateful for everyone's love.
just heard this song in wendell & wild and it made me so happy! i love this song
This is one of the most amazing performances of a song that I've ever seen. These 2 young women are phenomenal! The effort and the teamwork it took to pull off this video is astounding to imagine. ❤🎉

J'aime tellement cette musique.. même après toute ces années..trop bien ❤️✨🌠🌌💫
It is a dedication to Oshun because she is the Goddess of the Rivers
I didn't dance and sing in a long time, not to mention playing one song over and over!!! This is the best song I've heard in a long, long time..
Osun the Ifa deity of Love, Beauty, Intimacy, Freshwater, the Osun River & Wealth in the Yoruba Kingdom. Beautiful realistic blend of water, clothing, title and language representations. Hats off!!!
J'adore ce clip ! ... J'comprends pas les paroles, mais
d'après la qualité visuelle et original du clip, ce doit être a la hauteur.
Merci les filles et bonne continuation. Bises de France 💋
amazing song. that is pure talent here
I love the obvious chemistry that they have and how talented they are.
ALMOST DRAWN WATCHING THIS. 👀 Beautiful song. Ibeyi = Ibeji = Twins (In Yorùbá) ❤🔥🙌🏽 OSUN = Orisa Omi = water goddess/spirits
I'm really feeling this song ... South Africa needs to hear this
+lera khauoe I only ound out about them yesterday, this is good music!
yoh they're too awesome... no lie
+lera khauoe you seem cool
***** well Thanlks
Thank you to the beautiful queen inside of tsu who sent this song to me you are forever honored and thank you for your kindness into my diaspora
I love this music. I'm Ghanian , but Ghanaians we understand the Nigerian Yoruba. Ghana and Nigeria have good relations.
Francesca Agyeman lol not when it comes to jollof.
Sarata Saidykhan yeah I agree with you Nigerian jollof is more spicier than the Ganaian jollof.
Francesca Agyeman What does the yoruba lyrics means??
Absolutely AWESOME video. Gorgeous performance, and what a beautiful song! It brings tears to my eyes each time I see it. You GO girls!
I love you my sisters. .love from Africa
I'm here because I needed a prayer 🙏🏾
Underground bought me here....That show was so powerful. So is this SONG. 👏🏽👏🏽💯♥️
Finally I can understand! Ora Ye Ye Ô!
Ibeyi, you will have a million within the month. Wreck them, my sweet witches.
If you team up with FirstAidKitVEVO and tour, you may create a big WitchStock.
***** you are unwell.
***** people like you remind me of invaders that conquer places and belittle them because they just can't understand.
What I mean is that u should do some research before u criticise. But u entitled to your opinion.
***** It depends on your upbringing & beliefs. If you are looking at them from a Christian or Muslim prospective then they'll be labelled witches. But if u r looking at them from a traditional belief prospective then, they'll be labelled followers of mother nature.
I feel your music. It's amazing. Much Love from Bulgaria.
When music is art ❤
i would be dead if i was that left girl
omg
How so?
Greeny Zay
I think she means she'd be under water too long lol
Ah
I laughed at this comment for 5 minutes.
C'est deux jeunes filles sont incroyablement aussi talentueuses que belles! Très agréable découverte!!!
Ever since the first time i watched this I've held my breath to match theirs. I've finally been able to do so and sing along with them. I love this. #Oya 🖤⚡🌪
This song, this video, those voices. Holy fucking shit, I'm in love!
Literally stumbled upon them! Amazing!!
Me too.
literally? what you were walking down the street and these musicians were lying on the footpath and you kinda tripped over them?
I hope they were alright. Can be a bit disconcerting having people randomly tripping over you
The Queens documentary on Disney and Hulu reminded me how much I love this song. Still wonderful in 2024!
PERSONALMENTE LAS AMO SON HERMOSAS ESTRELLAS
JUNIO 9 2019 WASHINGTON DC
ESTARE PRESENTE REPRESENTANDO ORGULLOSAMENTE A MEXICO
They are ABSOLUTLY AMAZZZZZING!!!!
I'm here again from Lagos Nigeria , Today is Osun festival
They are amazing!!! Such a deep feel in their compositions.
This song gives me the chills every time! Ora ye ye Mamãe Oxum!
Holding your breath with them is intense!
Please these girls a listen.. It's pretty soulful and amazing.
this is on Beyonce's instagram!!!! these two are about to be sooo famous now
+xXPorcelinxxRoseXx exactly no reference needed. they need to watch out mind she steal their ideas n shit ......watch
+Brownie101abc Bish where?? It's a similar photo, but not them
+Brownie101abc who is Beyonce?
Brownie101abc y'all Beyoncé fans are so delusional lmao bey can't make nobody famous. She can't even make her struggling twin artist famous Sksksk
Just an over all beautiful execution of message, visual and audio the way she says “ego” and “water” makes me feel purified melodies ibeyi is a force I reckon with
Eu tô completamente apaixonada... Um acalento pro meu coração, pra minha alma.
Gratidão

+mikael mass Tout a fait magnifique!!!
La musique est juste énorme ahah
A hymn, if ever there was one.
I knew I had heard this before! I was watching Wendell and Wild on netflix and remembered so I had to come back here
i tried holding my breath and i almost passed out
I was able to hold My breath the same times as right girl troughout the video without dying Or giving up
If you watch carefully a lot of the time they spend underwater is repeated in reverse, so the long parts at the start and the end are actually about half the time. That's not to say they didnt take millions of takes though. Kudos.
SciencePartners I did it but the last part was too difficult
ChickenNoodle Soup they died????
ChickenNoodle Soup i can
