One of the real great discoveries of the past year has been the twin sisters of Ibeyi. Having caught them earlier in the year at Hollywood Forever’s Lodge, I can tell you that as good as they sound on record, they sound twice as nice live. You can get a chance to catch them yourself, here in Los Angeles, at the legendary Mayan theater in DTLA, Friday, September 18th. Make sure to e-mail me at michael[at]meltingpotblog.com by 12noon tomorrow, Thursday September 17th!!!

Ibeyi really shines in live performance, at once simple and minimalist and yet so expansive in the amount of sound the two sisters create. Here they are covering Jay Electronica’s “Better In Tune With The Infinite” at a session for KEXP:

And here is the latest video from Ibeyi, for their song “Stranger / Lover”:
