Getting Tattoos with French-Cuban Duo, Ibeyi.

Under the needle at a Brooklyn tattoo parlor, French-Cuban duo Ibeyi tells the story behind each song on their new album "Ash". Hear how their Yoruba roots and passion for women's empowerment & racial justice inspired a collection of powerful anthems, each championing the famous quote, "They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds."

I'm really happy my comment inspired her to get a tattoo of a seed! So inspiring!!!

Hey guys! The quote that inspired Lisa to get the tattoo is actually from a greek poet called Dinos Christianopoulos and it is translated as: ''You did whatever you could to bury me, but you forgot I was a seed.'' and was written in 1978 The phraze was later used in mexico as a slogan for one of the biggest demonstrations for the dissapearance of 43 students from a narcotic dealers' cartel. Ντίνος Χριστιανόπουλος «και τι δεν κάνατε για να με θάψετε / όμως ξεχάσατε πώς ήμουν σπόρος».

They're just so beautiful inside and out. I love listening to them talk about their music and watching them interact as sisters and artists. They have such a positive and powerful energy about them. Very lovely.

i went to their show in Brooklyn on Sunday and they created exactly what they said in this video! the show was inspiring and electric. we danced, we screamed, we sweat, we cried; we were all together standing in our power, if only for an hour and a half, amplifying love.

[@haute03]

I went to their show in DC and felt similarly.

[@tonkali]

Agreed napeakor!!! It was such a beautiful, energizing, powerful show and the room so full of love! The girls were on fire. The spirit was in the house and Mother was there too. Can't wait to see them again!!

Es un dicho Mexicano, "quisieron enterrarnos, pero no sabian que eramos semillas." Thank you for the music--saw you live in Portland last night and it was absolutely FIERCE.

These girls are COMMUNISTS. In Cuba we are taught to hate the “Yankees”, hate the USA & hate Capitalism. Their father was a musician during the USSR era of Cuba & was always traveling out of Cuba when it was ILLEGAL for average Cubans to do so. They praise Che & Fidel openly & preach Communism during their interviews WHILE earning Capitalist foreign dollars. Those dictators (Fidel murdered Che over power, every Cubans knows that) are the reason Cuba is a rotting, disgusting, vile, shameful & oppressive country. This a video of Che, Fidel & Camilo sentencing black men to a firing squad WITHOUT a trial on NATIONAL CUBAN TELEVISION: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZiuc6Suo8aKnrc THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THESE WOMEN LOOK UP TO! They should be be ashamed & exiled (like millions of Cubans have been since 1959) because of their Anti-American agenda. Don’t support these ladies, you Yankees! They HATE you & always will just like their "role models" have taught them to.

Don't do it. You can't remove them. And you always want to remove them.
