Ibeyi - 'Transmission/Michaelion' feat. Meshell Ndegeocello (Official Video) 

My best friend had a tattoo of a big tree along the left side of her body. She was a strong, fearless, and caring woman...she died exactly one week ago today in a car accident. Your new video made me cry at first of sadness both for the tree and my friend, but later I realized that the tree has been immortalized by your video and in the stories that people tell about it...and so too will my friend live on in the memories of her loved ones. Gone, but not forgotten. Thank you for your art.

Ibeyi makes me dream about ways to make the world better.

Transmission, transmission, transmission Transmission, transmission, transmission There must be a way out Memories that bind Revenge and loss now Is the best word we got To open all the doors spent We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) The love we should fire Is mine and yours Transmission Lighting in the layers of the past, at last We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Facing a clearer sky (Transmission) Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Facing a clearer sky (Transmission) Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Transmission Lighting in the layers of the past, at last We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Facing a clearer sky (Transmission) Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Facing a clearer sky (Transmission) Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Sing, our arms are wide We climb the walls Dance on the beats of hearts One and all Transmission Lighting in the layers of the past, at last We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Facing a clearer sky (Transmission) Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) We sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Facing a clearer sky (Transmission) Sin in our dearest strife (Transmission) Pies para que los quiero si tengo alas pa' volar Después de todas las horas vividas Sin más deseo que seguir hasta encontrarse Lentamente Con enorme inquietud Pero con la certeza de que todo lo rige la "sección de oro" Hay un acomodo celular. Hay un movimiento. Hay luz Todos los centros son los mismos La locura no existe. Somos lo mismo que ya fuimos y seremos Sin contar con el estúpido destino I've been thinking lately How seasons fall apart back to the start Should I share how I feel Or bury it inside, or bury it inside Suddenly, strange and quiet Like underwater Suddenly, strange and quiet Like underwater Like underwater Like underwater Like underwater Like underwater Transmission, transmission, transmission I don't what the water wanted Transmission, transmission, transmission I don't what the water wanted I don't what the water wanted You take, I give And that the seasons flow I am growing old Can't you hear me? The meaning of it all Vibrations I recall Suddenly, strange and quiet Like underwater Suddenly, strange and quiet Like underwater Suddenly, strange and quiet Like underwater Suddenly, strange and quiet Like underwater Pies para que los quiero si tengo alas pa' volar

This Song is SPIRITUAL!

“Before, this tree was green and with flowers; now it is a colourless thorn tree and naked. I cannot recognise it - it had two very distinct trunks. Now there is only one, with a stump on the side, slashed, rather than cut a metre from the soil. What has happened to this unhappy tree? Simply, a lorry going to Bilma has struck it... but it has enough space to avoid it... the taboo, sacred tree, the one which no nomad here would have dared to have hurt with his hand... this tree has been the victim of a mechanic...[4]"

This video made my cry. The song was already beautiful, but with this story of the Ténéré Tree... When they say "we happened." this is so cruelly true. Ibeyi is such a wonderful duet, I've had twice the occasion to see and hear them on stage and COME ON these were the best concerts I've ever attended ! I wouldn't have ever imagined to say that one day but they are pure magic. Divine creatures made real. Keep making the world better girls, you are an inspiration for lots of us ! Love.

Thank you for your love and teachings of ancestral and angelic community

Thank you with all my heart for bringing the collective consciousness to the unicity of the universe and the connection of the mother gaya with us, Eparrey Oya, gratitude.

What a fate for such a sacred tree, it resisted and defied unimaginable natural circumstances .. i'm in awe, inspired but distraught that - in the whole of that empty dry land, one intoxicated individual severed a cord to the past by an un natural cause, it's unreal but very real.

Love Ibeyi music, it always has a message. This is their version of "Heal the World"

Waves to Transmission has been my favorite two song sequence of modern music

This song is like that tree. A beacon to space ensuring the cleanliness of our souls. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. And, as I have found, it is the most unlikeliest of heroes that tends to take that fall. Rest in peace, 'ol tree. ✌🏼🖤😌

This song is so beautiful and calming. True ART!

💜 *Meshell Ndegeocello* 💜 Just discovered Ibeyi in my suggestions...Such a lovely soothing voice. Like listening to a meditation.

This is my favorite song from this album. And now I am so moved by the video.

My gratitude towards the miracle of what Gaia offers💚

This is the kind of music that contemporary world needs to hear and feel. Que mierda ya tenemos mucha!

so deeply touching. the visuals are breathtakingly beautiful and soft, the story is heart wrenching, the voices so strong moving. all that combined made me tear up holymoly.

¿Pies? Para que los quiero si tengo alas pa volar....💜

I cried, this is beautiful. Thank you Ibeyi for sharing with the world such an inspiring work.

You girls give me such life, thanks for introducing me to a whole new world of music ❤️

Why is this story begins like a fairy tail and ends like tragedy ? It is a legend we have to transmit to our generation, a lesson we never learn.

Actuellement je trouve qu'elles sont les meilleures cantatrices au monde..et de loin Bravo en tout cas !

I see these everlasting opposing forces - one to create and one to destroy. I see a planet in the midst of the turmoil. What will the inhabitants choose?
