[POSTPONED: October 4, 2022] Ibeyi / Madison McFerrin [moved to March 25, 2023 at World Cafe Live]
I first heard of Ibeyi quite some time ago. They are sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz. They were born in Cuba but moved to France as small kids. Both of their parents are musicians, and the sisters have a great musical connection.
I had heard that their live show was amazing and I put them high on my list of bands to see. I was pretty excited to see that they’d be playing Union Transfer.
Then on September 7, I got this email:
Ibeyi have moved their US tour, including their Philadelphia date to Spring 2023. A note from the band can be read below.
“To our fans in North America, we’re sorry to announce that due to logistical complications, we have to move our originally scheduled North America September/October dates to the spring of 2023. For those who have been following Ibeyi from the beginning, you know how touring and performing is special to us, we can’t wait to come and play our songs for you, but it’s only a matter of time.
Please note the new date and venue for our show – original tickets will be honored, please contact your point of purchase for more information.”The Philadelphia show will now be taking place at a new venue, World Cafe Live on March 25, 2023.
The opening act, Madison McFerrin is Bobby McFerrin’s daughter.
She sings in a kind of classic soulful way. Her voice is rather timeless. I’m not sure how much I would have enjoyed seeing her live, but I’ll probably never know.
