Was just listening to Robert Elms on BBC London Radio interviewing Patrick Patterson. WoW what a find, it's the sound of past , present and future. Timeless. Amazing to hear Patrick talking about his other career as a Barrister in the British courts ! Imagine that, telling your friends your dad is a top Lawyer and... oh in his spare time he also founded one of the most influential funk band in history and inspired countless HipHop DJs and producers and film directors... Mad !
Kris Clarke, cause they don't appreciate great bands from the 1970s. I sure remember them raised in South Central LA. Glad we were introduced to all types of music. ❤
I remember reading an article about them years ago. It was mentioned that because they all had given up their musical instruments for jobs and careers that it was unlikely that they'd ever play again. Look at God workin. 🙏🏿
Back in the day of the dinosaurs going to a record store was a required ritual where the staff could usually direct you to the hippest music that was flying under the radar. That's how I found this group who joined War, Mandrill and Funkedelic on my turntable among the many other funk bands of that era.Good to see they still got it after all these years
I first heard this group when I was in high school and playing with a group called the 16th Generation, we played some of their music and kept the dance floor full, great group.
Super concert que nous avons passé au Trianon a Paris hier soir 17 avril 2024, ils assuraient grave , a 67 ans c est toute ma musique des années 70 / 80 et toujours maintenant , bravo les gars .
Sooo good man. Still sending me to another dimension like in 2010 when I knew this group whn was in high school. Impecable performance. Cheers! from arg
June 20th 2023. I Remember Them. Being A Musician Is A Hard, Wonderful Life. Wish They Could've Kept It Movin In The Spare Time, Because They Were Ahead Of Their Time.
Yesterday I had the absolute privilege of seeing these guys live at Womadelaide 2024 on a very hot summer Australian evening in the Botanic gardens and wow wow wow smashed it live 💥 so much respect... So cool 😎
Are you kidding me, I am like seven years late on the party, could never imagine I'd see them on video (I am a huge fan of the self titled LP). This is great.
The interesting thing about this tune outside of the Bassline phrases is the lyric and how many different words are said depending on the version or the singer to tell this important story and Google never gets it right..
went to see the documentary and spoke to them. They are playing Australia soon. Unfortunately, a few have passed and not all will be doing the tour but their tunes are wicked!!🙃
@@thomasbrown7328 Sam is the drummer. Very early on the original drummer bailed out for some reason and Sam was brought in, he was just 18 I think. He played the drums on all Cymande albums. They were quite successful around 1972-73, the only British soul band to tour the United States.
@@monsieurhercule Thanks! Apparently they played on Soul Train but I can’t find the footage. I love spreading their word… a reggae singer recently started working with me in the hospital and had never heard of them- they arent true reggae of course but they are universal- I just bought another copy of their main album - it should come in the next few days and I’m giving it to him :)
@@thomasbrown7328 They have been recognized. Been listening to them my whole life and they are, and have always been, well regarded in funk/soul circles.

Respect!

I just found these guys loving their style/vibes and this isn't my go to type of music
So pleased they are having a second act in their musical career. Still absolutely blazing
The voice is sweet
Still going strong: the message... omg
I discovered this group last year searching for old skool funk jazz .... and i was hooked
As a lover of Funk music, I have never heard of this group until recently. This is my kind of music! Love it!
I still have the album from 1972 Great and timeless songs

Great collection
The perfect chill out music
great band, really nice vibes
I love this sound
GREAT LIVE SESSION. So good to see them together after many many many years.
Just wish they played DOVE!
But this was GREAT!
I first heard this group when I was in high school and playing with a group called the 16th Generation, we played some of their music and kept the dance floor full, great group.
Seriously is there someone just going around giving thumbs down to great music like this..
That's someone who don't know music when they hear it.
No, not me thumbs up. Cymande songs are soothing.
Yes, angry retarded people that can’t stand seeing people being happy!❤
I need to play and jam with this group.

nice
Cymande! What a band? Rap music sampled Bra and the brilliant Message.
Yep..Spike Lee used "Bra" on the soundtrack of the movie"25th hour" starring. Ed Norton and Phillp Seymour Hoffman.
A gem session
My absolutely favorite band!
If Putin would have listened to them....
Wow
Close your eyes and you could be listening to Boz Scaggs …… very smooth 👍😎🇳🇿🎸

The Message at the end was perfect! Another group that kept me going in the turbulent 70’s.
Glad to know that they are still around
세상에 이런 멋진 스튜디오 라이브가 또 있을까? 저 연륜과 경력이 모여서 넘치는 여유로움과 완벽한 사운드를 만들어 낸다는게 그저 경이롭고, 멋있고, 존경스러울 뿐이다. 그들의 음악이 영원히 이어지길 바란다.
Try soul sacrifice Woodstock 69 santana
Need a recording of this amazing session!!!
amazing, thanks for uploading
Hey !!!! Those days, a party without Cymande was dead. Oh these guys really made the world fun more than half a century ago. Kudos to them.
Love these guys!
You let the bass man sweat out all those bars and never put the camera on him once ?? Why ??!!
The interesting thing about this tune outside of the Bassline phrases is the lyric and how many different words are said depending on the version or the singer to tell this important story and Google never gets it right..
Fantastic!
Amazing !!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 😎
I just saw them on NZ TV News interviewed about their return to recording. Apparently they are doing 6 shows in Australia shortly.
went to see the documentary and spoke to them. They are playing Australia soon. Unfortunately, a few have passed and not all will be doing the tour but their tunes are wicked!!🙃
These guys are still great!
Bought the album at 14 yrs of age. At 67 still lovin the good groove. Keep diggin everbody
Amazing!
💚😎🤙💨
I remember buying cymanda albums in the 70s Powerful music..
Great band!!! never heard of them till tonight in passing. Just so soulful.
......Awesome....Give the drummer some.....
Premium quality 🙂
Sam Kelly did a lot to hold this together over the years, they got more than they bargained for when he joined the band.
Which one is Sam Kelly? Was he one of the original members?
(So happy this band gets the recognition they deserve, better late than never).
