Hijas del Sol

Hijas del Sol (Spanish, Daughters of the Sun), namely Piruchi Apo Botupá and Paloma Loribo Apo, are an aunt and niece duo from the island of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea who write, sing, and perform songs in both Bube and Spanish.

[2] They first performed together in 1992 for a competition in el Centro Cultural Hispano Guineano, where they won prizes for best original song and best choreography.

[citation needed] The duo later moved to Madrid, Spain where they became involved with the local cultural scene and met Manu Chao.

[1] The album was released by the independent record label Nubenegra.

[3] Sibèba ("aquello que se quiere conseguir"), can be translated as, "a place of salvation reserved for the best"[4] and the album tells of the traditions of both Bube culture and Catholics religion as well as the problems that immigrants encounter in modern-day Spain.
