One of the most influential bands of all time, the endlessly sampled forefathers of funk and hip hop, Cymande are back! Over fifty years into a sensational career, the London-based collective have applied modern magic to their timeless sound for Renascence, their first studio album in close to a decade. - Flying Out
Legendary British band Cymande return with their first studio album in many years, Renascence, set for release via BMG on January 31st, 2025.
A true return to form and jewel in the crown of their iconic discography, Renascence, which includes feature from Celeste and Jazzie B, picks up where their 1974 album Promised Heights left off – a spiritual and sonic follow-up, bringing a fresh modern edge to their iconic sound, which remains foundational to early hip-hop and funk scenes in the United States and UK. Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully got its due back in the day; but are back to take the crown by remaining true to themselves – politically aware, and spiritually positive with infectious grooves.
