Cymande is a Funk-Soul album fused with Reggae, Jazz, and Afro-Caribbean influences, marked by deep spirituality and hypnotic rhythms. It’s a profoundly groovy record — both socially conscious and meditative — that has become a cult classic over time, notably through hip-hop sampling, such as in MC Solaar’s “Bouge de là.”
Cymande is one of the few British bands to have broken through on the American funk scene of the 1970s.
This copy is a French pressing — particularly hard to find!
