Welcome back to Object of Sound. In the debut episode of our third season, we’re talking about the power of music to heal, inspire, and invite magic into our lives. “When we sing, we are deathless” says Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, one half of the duo Ibeyi describing her relationship with twin sister and collaborator, Naomi Diaz. That connection creates a special kind of magic, which is woven throughout the tracks of their forthcoming album, Spell 31. In this episode, Hanif sits down with Lisa and Naomi to talk about how they’ve grown through making music together, learning from past selves, and we’re giving you a preview of Ibeyi’s best album yet. On our playlist this week, songs that are a celebration of sisterhood. For the playlist of songs curated for this episode head over to https://bit.ly/ibeyi-magic.

Song has forever been an important way of sharing stories, experiences and culture.

MFTU 3 - "Ache"

[Sorry about the technical difficulties. The echo ends around the 12 minute mark. Also, Maria reads from Latoya Ferguson's episode recap to organize plot points. ]

Maria and Didi cover ep 2x03 of Underground, a epic entry called "Ache". This episode gives us a reason to discuss Black women's relationship with strength, the myth of the Strong Black Woman and what happens when you run out of strength and need care. We also get to talk about Black women's bodily autonomy and how the vestiges of slavery affect us today on that issue. If you haven't figured out by now, this episode was A LOT. Misha Green put her foot in this!

To continue the discussion, please contact us at blackgirlsquee@gmail.com or on Twitter @Roxie and @dustdaughter. Until next time, please take care of yourselves, black women! We love you even when you aren't strong!

If you need help emotionally, call the Nat'l Suicide Prevention Lifeline @ 1-800-273-TALK (8255). For more resources, visit @800273TALK.

Intro/Outro is "Oya" by Ibeyi.
