Cymande name was created due to one of Calypso's main characters called Dove. With South American origins, it's a testament for 'Peace and Love', and their music, formerly baptised as 'Nyah-Rock', is a fantastic blend of wonderful rhythms, from Jazz to Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Funk, Caribbean music and specially Calypso.
The atmosphere is very deep, intense, and at the same time rhythmic, funky, soulful, with Caribbean and South American Music flavors.
Based in London on the very early seventies, Cymande was composed by the bassist Steve Scipio, Joey Dee & Ray King on the vocals & percussion, Derek Gibbs on the Alto/Soprano, Pablo Gonsales on the Congas, Peter Serreo (Tenor), the wonderful guitarrist Patrick Patterson, multi instrumentalist Mike Rose (Alto/Bongos/Flute), and Sam Kelly on the drums.
