CYMANDE - PROMISED HEIGHTS [2026]

£24.00

Third album (1974) from British Afro-Caribbean collective, recorded after touring with Al Green and becoming the first British band to play the Apollo Theater during their short but mythologised early 70s run.

Fusing Afro-soul, funk, reggae and psychedelic rock with Nyabinghi-inspired rhythms and Afro-Caribbean spirituality, the record later became a heavily sampled favourite within hip-hop, rare groove and crate-digger’s holy grail.
