Watch Ibeyi's Vibrant New Video For 'Away Away'

DIASPORA—Cuban-French duo, Ibeyi share the music video for their latest single "Away Away."


On "Away Away," Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé Díaz chant about the fleeting nature of time over brazing percussion. The music video sees the twins having a high-spirited studio session and excitedly riding around the city. Their infectious camaraderie carries the three minute clip, directed by Christian Beuchet.

Ibeyi's self-titled debut album was released in 2015. Last year they appeared in Beyoncé's seminal visual album Lemonade. We shot an OkayAcoustic with the duo, back in 2015—revisit it here - Okay Acoustic With Ibeyi, and watch their new music video for "Away, Away" below.
