The band was formed in London in 1971. Active in the 1970s, the group released four albums between 1972 and 1981. It was composed of eight members, all from the West Indies (Jamaica, Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines). They decide, influenced by the English progressive rock, to create a music that is a mixture of everything that sounds Afro-Rock. They invent a term to define their style: the «Nyah-Rock». Although their compositions are strongly tinged with funk, the band has always been inspired by the Rastafari movement. In 2015, another album comes out, "A simple act of faith", a last sword blow in the water? No, a new one will be released in 2025, of which you can already find the first excerpt, "Chasing An Empty Dream"

I have MC Solaar to thank for bringing me to these guys. Damn they were amazing.

As a very young kid I remember seeing a guy who would carry this album under his arm everywhere he went, the cover at the time blew my mind, he was kind enough to allow me to look at the artwork. I saw it many years later in a 2nd hand record store and bought it. It is such an influential record.

Congratulations Tim MacKenzie-Smith & thank you for making this documentary! Cymande’s influence on hip hop and house music is immeasurable. The very creation and existence of this group is a once in a lifetime occurrence.. Much like hip hop, this incredible music could have only come from one place & at one time in this human history. Big up all involved in the production of this documentary and especially to the members of the band. Although, I personally know many that would agree with me.. I can only speak for myself.. Cymande, I am eternally grateful for your art ☮️❤️🙏🏼 Can’t wait to see the film.. 🇦🇬🇧🇧🇩🇲🇬🇩🇬🇾🇯🇲🇰🇳🇱🇨🇻🇨🇹🇹🇬🇧🇺🇸

Looking forward to the february release. I came across Cymande fairly recently, and this is the sound. Glorious yous are.

As a young teenager, this was the first show/concert that I attended. This sound has been with me for decades. It transcends time ❤

it's funny, I found Cymande just before khruangbin back in 2016. pretty much a week apart from each other. I picked up the album at a goodwill because it reminded me of Santana's old record cover with the black and white lion. dove was this lost epic to me when I heard it the first time.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Does anyone knows where to watch??

Where can we watch this?

When's this coming out!!!

We were listening to this song back in the early 70s. It never went away. It would be played in black radio stations in DC, it was only two, WOOK and WOL. A lot of us old timers laugh when music from back in the day is rediscovered. It gives younger folks an insight to the music that was the soundtrack to black folks' lives decades ago.

Subtitles please spanish

Jamaican FunK !!!! Hidden musical gemstones just like The Meters. Believe!!!! For those who used to dance in the sweaty London clubs in the late early 70s to mid 80s. Bra…The Message…Dove…Brothers on the Slide… Definitely Renegades of Funk!!!!

Bar, Dove and the message were all on the tape, ive been a big fan of these guys ever sice and ive told as many people about them as i can over the years...
