Cymande: BBC News at Six

[Kesalocasoul]

A short feature by Colin Paterson on the BBC News at Six about South London funk band Cymande, which may be of interest to some (about 26 minutes in, between the French farmers' protests and the escaped macaque stories).

It follows an article in the Guardian, almost two years ago.

They made some great, and clearly enduring, records like The Message, Brothers on the Slide, Dove etc, which I used to hear at the 100 Club in the 1970s.  I am not aware of them having much traction on the NS scene at that time, but they might get played in Bristol now.
