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.

[@suk4honesty]

their father is from Cuba and their mother is Venezuelan

[@toyoeke7978]

vickie g why then do they speak yoruba

[@suk4honesty]

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

the most beautiful Oshun song I've ever heard. the way they managed to make something so sacred and intimate so intense. Save mother Oshun

[@MayibaAfricana]

No

[@ameriqueindienindigene9096]

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."

[@iniyespiff500]

+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)

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!!!!

[@kireality]

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.

I love the obvious chemistry that they have and how talented they are.

[@bzzarre815]

i tried holding my breath and i almost passed out

[@sciencepartners6218]

I was able to hold My breath the same times as right girl troughout the video without dying Or giving up

[@dangsood4945]

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.

[@bratzlover501]

SciencePartners I did it but the last part was too difficult

[@felipeignaciomansillafreir345]

ChickenNoodle Soup they died????

[@devinjefferson4039]

[@GeenaAntunovic]

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..

[@stopspam43711]

The Queens documentary on Disney and Hulu reminded me how much I love this song. Still wonderful in 2024!

[@SirAbyss]

This song, this video, those voices. Holy fucking shit, I'm in love!

[@gawgarin]

anyone else wish the last 40 seconds of the song was a whole another song of 3-4 minutes?

[@kazeemolatunde2607]

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!!!

[@London_miss234]

Me too.

[@frarfarf]

literally? what you were walking down the street and these musicians were lying on the footpath and you kinda tripped over them?

[@josephstevens5489]

I hope they were alright. Can be a bit disconcerting having people randomly tripping over you

[@nadezhdakotova3789]

0:00 Ok this is is gonna be an audio. 0:03. Wait. Is it just me or are they moving? 0:15 AH NO WAIT IT’S VIDEO-

[@yunusyusufabdallah45]

I love you my sisters. .love from Africa

[@inacioc.figueiredo1050]

Africa culture is a best culture...

[@knightarnaud]

Mah, all cultures are amazing.

[@sara78889]

+knightarnaud Yeah, but african culture is outstanding.

[@MattALevesque]

African cultureS, there is no one singular african culture. Plus these girls are Afro Cuban, so their culture has its roots in Yoruba culture, but it also has its own unique culture.

[@thedragonforce10]

thats racist wtf

[@kawaiipopsimmer542]

mr anonymos GAMER okay not to start anything but I really need people to start over using the word racist and then not even using it right...this comment is not racist being racist is hating a race for their culture or believes stuff of that nature...not saying a culture is better than others 0.0 that's just an opinion

[@lavecosmic]

The only reason I heard this song is because of Wendell & Wild on Netflix I'm in love 💕

Come to your river, I’ll come to your river come to your river, come to your river wash my soul, I will come to river wash my soul. I will come to the river wash my soul again carry away all my leaves, baptise myself of the help of your water Save my pain and complain let the river take them river drown them come to your river come to your river I will come to your river come to wash my soul, I will come to your wash my soul I will come to your river wash my soul again carry away all the leaves, baptise myself of the help of your order, saved by Payne and complain. Let the river take the river, drown them and Ibeyi means twins in Nigerian
