Cymande are a British funk group that was originally active in the early 1970s. The band name derives from a calypso word for "dove", which symbolises peace and love, "Dove" is also the title of one of their best-known songs. With a membership deriving from several Caribbean nations, Cymande were noted for an eclectic mix of funk, soul, reggae, rock, African music, calypso, and jazz that they called "nyah-rock". The band formed in 1971 and released three albums before disbanding in 1974. After gaining newfound popularity when their music was sampled by many notable rap artists, Cymande reformed in the 2010s.
***
1971-ben alakult Londonban, Angliában, guyanai, jamaicai és Saint Vincent zenészekkel. A Cymande név a calypso szóból származik ami galambot jelent, amely a békét és a szeretetet szimbolizálja. Olyan zenei stílust játszanak, amelyet Nyah-Rocknak hívnak: funk, soul, reggae és afrikai ritmusok keveréke. A zenekar legnagyobb kezdeti sikerét Amerikában érte el, és 1975-ig aktívan felvételeket készítettek és felléptek... A Cymande újjáalakult, és körülbelül 2010 óta játszik élőben.
