This brilliant 1972 album from UK 70s funk outfit Cymande (pronounced Sah-mahn-day) has been heralded as the best Brit Funk album of all time.<\/p>\n
Taking influences from their Guyanese and Jamaican roots they fused reggae influenced basslines, Afro-tinted Nyabinghi percussion, psychedelic touches and American style funk instrumentation creating a unique sound which the band referred to as nyah-rock.<\/p>\n
Their tracks later became a mainstay of block parties and hip hop break samples.<\/p>\n
This, their debut, boasted perhaps their best-known funk anthem The Message and the much-sampled Bra, adopted by pioneering DJs like DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash before being plundered by De La Soul, The Wu-Tang Clan, The Coup and The Fugees to name but a few.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":539354,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8018,12362],"product_tag":[],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[29194],"musiclabel":[29195],"musicstyle":[37940,38014],"distributormusic":[10834],"musicyear":[],"musiccountry":[],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-539393","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-back-in-stock","7":"product_cat-out-of-stock","8":"musicartist-cymande","9":"musiclabel-alaska","10":"musicstyle-funk","11":"musicstyle-soul","12":"distributormusic-one-nation","14":"first","15":"outofstock","16":"featured","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/539393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=539393"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=539393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
