Cymande (TRANSLUCENT ORANGE CRUSH VINYL)In 1972, with the release of their self titled debut album, Cymande emerged as innovators of the black British music scene. Taking influences from their Guyanese and Jamaican roots, the band fused reggae bass lines, Afro tinged Nyabinghi percussion, psychedelic touches, and American style funk instrumentation into a unique sound theyve since dubbed as Nyah rock.
