London band Cymande broke up in the '70s but their music was rediscovered and shot to prominence in the early '90s, after being sampled by hip hop pioneers De La Soul, The Fugees, and the Wu Tang Clan. DJ Norman Jay recognised their unique sound and used to play their music on pirate radio in London in the ‘80s. Caribbean immigrants Patrick Patterson and Steve Scipio first formed the band in South London in the ‘70s.
After playing gigs around London a producer heard their music and signed them up to an independent label. They released their first album in 1972
