No pain. The world is a wonderful whisper for those who can listen, if necessary in silence.

Ash - Ibeyi (2017)

Secondo disco, che esce a due anni e mezzo di distanza dal debutto omonimo, per il duo franco-cubano (con origini nigeriane e venezuelane) formato dalle gemelle Lisa-Kaindé Diaz e Naomi Diaz. Pitchfork le accosta, tra gli altri, a Solange Knowles, a me ricordano moltissimo le Zap Mama, ma le Diaz sono musicalmente un viaggio bellissimo attraverso la world music ed il girl power (in No Man Is Big Enough for My Arms, uno dei due spoken-word del disco, usano un discorso di Michelle Obama). Belle, pensanti, dotatissime, pensare che abbiano "solo" 22 anni mette quasi paura. Partecipazioni eterogenee ma interessantissime (Kamasi Washington, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mala Rodrìguez, Chilli Gonzales), disco intenso e raffinato, splendida conferma che due stelle sono nate, e stanno brillando.



Second album, after two years and a half away from the debut with their same name, for the Franco-Cuban duo (with Nigerian and Venezuelan origins) composed by female twins Lisa-Kaindé Diaz and Naomi Diaz. Pitchfork write that they reminds, amongst others, Solange Knowles, to me, instead, they let come into my mind the Zap Mama, but the Diaz twins are a beautiful musical journey through world music and girl power (in "No Man Is Big Enough for My Arms", one of the two spoken-word of the album, uses a speech by Michelle Obama). Beautiful, thinking, very gifted, thinking that they have "only" 22 years almost put fears in you. Heterogeneous but interesting contributions (Kamasi Washington, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mala Rodriguez, Chilli Gonzales), an intense and refined record, stunningly confirms that two stars are born and are shining.
