Cymande: the invisible heroes of political and spiritual funk, reissued on CD.The eponymous album by the band Cymande is reissued on CD! This is the greatest band you've never heard of. Unsung heroes whose music was political, spiritual, and ahead of its time. Their story has never been told. Until now... Cymande, a group of Black British musicians who all left the Caribbean to come to the United Kingdom as children, released three brilliant albums in the early 1970s and were embraced in the United States. But in the UK, they faced a music market plagued by prejudice and were largely ignored. They disbanded in 1975. But their music survived, as successive generations of artists and fans discovered and adopted their songs.
