Cymande – Dove
The sensational British funk group Cymande (See-man-day) was one of the first to merge African rhythms with funk, reggae, and soul. Also with members from locations such as Guyana, Jamaica, and St. Vincent, the self taught nine-man lineup included Steve Scipio (bass), Ray King (vocals, percussion), Derek Gibbs (sax), Pablo Gonsales (percussion), Joey Dee (vocals, percussion), Peter Serreo (sax), Sam Kelly (drums), Mike Rose (sax, flute), and Patrick Patterson (guitar). The track below is a work of genius, enjoy! Oh, and their album covers were pretty cool too, check out more here.
