Ibeyi - Tournée

Presented by Talent Boutique. With Offering, Ibeyi revisits the free and spontaneous instinct of their beginnings.

Over more than a decade of success — endorsed by Beyoncé and Orelsan, through their Tiny Desk and COLORS sessions, tours on the biggest stages, crowned in summer 2023 by a memorable Olympia show — the Diaz twins have seen their momentum weakened under the pressure of algorithms and often clumsy marketing strategies.

While Offering, as is often the case in their work, draws on an imaginary shaped by Yoruba religion, these references should not distract from what matters most: the Diaz sisters tell a more intimate, less symbolic story, and speak for the first time with a single voice.

Between sacred minimalism, analogue textures, twiked percussion and transformed voices, they have crafted an album that is at times utterly stripped-back, at other times more massive, where physicality and raw energy run through every track.

Newly independent, they have gathered around them a circle of producers from hip-hop, the underground and alternative pop (Khalil, Jason Pounds, Zach Ezzy, pablopablo, Jack Peñate), in place of their long-time collaborator Richard Russell.

A unanimous decision, profoundly transformative. For two years, Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé pursued the same artistic clarity — through good and bad musical "dates", until their decisive meeting with Michael Brun, who serves as executive director of the album.

By stepping briefly away from outside scrutiny, Ibeyi has rediscovered what matters most: the play.
