  • Description

    Cymande (pronounced Sah-mahn-day) are a legendary funk group formed in 1971 in London by musicians from Guyana, Jamaica and Saint Vincent. Their name was derived from a calypso word for Dove, symbolizing peace and love. The band were signed by producer John Schroeder to his Alaska label in the UK (and Janus in North America). Cymande went on to release three albums in the early-to-mid 1970's. Their third LP, Promised Heights (1975), boasted the club classic Brothers On The Slide, which has been sampled and soundtracked many times. This reissue boasts three later tracks, Friends being their last single, and new sleeve-notes written with the cooperation with the band and John Schroeder.
