Ibeyi - River

Ibeyi (gemelas en yuruba) Hijas del prestigioso percusionista cubano Miguel Angá Díaz (Buenavista Social Club), las hermanas Naomi y Lisa-Kainde Díaz han protagonizado la última gran pirueta estilística de la década al reconectar la música tradicional de los esclavos afroamericanos con el siglo XXI. Así, enlazando la electrónica y música yoruba, el dubstep y los rezos espirituales originarios de Nigeria, estas gemelas franco-cubanas se han dado a conocer con “Oya”, un EP de música “espiritual negra para contemporáneos” en el que el soul del siglo XXI se refleja en el espejo de la tradición para crear un nuevo paisaje de espiritualidad sintética. Come to your river I will come to your river I will come to your river Come to your river (Wash my soul) I will come to your river (Wash my soul) I will come to your river Wash my soul again Carry away my dead leaves Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters Sink my pains and complains Let the river take them, river drown them My ego and my blame Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters Those all means are so ashamed Let the river take them, river drown them CHORUS: Come to your river I will come to your river I will come to your river Come to your river (Wash my soul) I will come to your river (Wash my soul) I will come to your river Wash my soul again Carry away my old leaves Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters Sink my pains and complains Let the river take them, river drown them My ego and my blame Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters Those all means so ashamed Let the river take them, river drown them CHORUS: Come to your river I will come to your river I will come to your river Come to your river (Wash my soul) I will come to your river (Wash my soul) I will come to your river Wash my soul again [speaking in Yoruba language]
