Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande (2022)

In the racially turbulent UK of the early 70s, a group of black musicians known as Cymande, with the dove as their symbol, combined jazz, funk, soul, and Caribbean grooves to form a unique sound. Although they faced indifference in their native Britain, their music had a lasting impact on future generations of artists. From Soul II Soul to De La Soul, MC Solaar to The Fugees, Cymande's pioneering sounds influenced a wide range of musicians. After forty years, they make a comeback, continuing to spread their message. They are the unsung heroes whose music played on.
