Essential & enjoyable global neo-soul (with a Yoruba basis)
The superb singing twin sisters Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé have Cuban-French crossover roots and, ever since their debut CD from 2015, we can no longer imagine them away from the global stage (nor the media, due to: sassy, photogenic, unique...) Have now completed a successor 'Ash' on the excellent XL label.

Fun fact
About the new single 'Me Voy': 'We needed to sing in Spanish to set a sensual tone for this song. When women feel sensual, not only is it sexy, but also powerful.'Their first time at AB was in March 2015: in a full club, with Le Colisée as equally exquisite support-act.
