As children of the Windrush Generation, they were part of the first wave of innovators and originators of the fledgling Black British music scene. Taking influences from their Guyanese and Jamaican roots, the band fused reggae basslines, Afro-tinged Nyabinghi percussion, psychedelic rock touches, and American-style funk instrumentation into a unique sound they dubbed as \"Nyah-rock.\" Second Time Round was the follow-up to their self-titled debut and firmly planted the band in the ears of an adoring U.S. audience. Cymande's Cymande was the first U.K. soul album to land on the Billboard charts, and Second Time Round placed them back on the U.S. charts again. They were also the first British band to ever play the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCymande's massive influence can be heard in the dozens and dozens of samples taken from their albums over the last five decades, from pioneering DJs like DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash, to De La Soul, Wu-Tang Clan, Gang Starr, The Coup, Sugar Hill Gang, Norman Cook\/Fatboy Slim and The Fugees - to name just a few. They stand today as one of the most revered and sampled bands to have ever cropped up across the history of hip hop, house, and dance music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch2\u003eReview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic rating: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"Stars rating-6\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 3.0 out of 5.\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic users: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"Stars rating-9\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 4.5 out of 5.\"\u003e\n          (36 votes)\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/mw0000841692\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead the AllMusic.com review\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cymande-vinyl-records\"\u003eCymande\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_europe\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp;

A true return to form and jewel in the crown of their iconic discography, Renascence 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 US and UK. Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully got it's 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.
