In 1972, with the release of their self-titled debut, Cymande emerged as innovators of the black British music scene. Drawing on their Guyanese and Jamaican roots, the band fused reggae bass lines, Afro-tinged Nyabinghi percussion, psychedelic touches, and American funk into a unique sound they dubbed "Nyah-rock." Their influence echoes through decades of samples, from DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash to De La Soul, Wu-Tang Clan, and Fatboy Slim, making them one of the most revered and sampled bands in the history of hip-hop, house, and dance. This Partisan reissue presents newly remastered audio, engineered at Abbey Road, on translucent orange-crush vinyl, with the best-known anthem "The Message" alongside the oft-sampled "Bra" and "Dove."
