Nyah Rock
The 'Nyah Rock', as they called it, proved to be a success and was quickly picked up by American media, leading to entries in the Billboard charts, a headline show at the famous Apollo Theater (the first British band ) and a tour with soul great Al Green.
However, success in their home country did not materialize, which caused the band to split up in 1974 and Cymande's music disappeared under the radar for many.
New fans
A decade later, the band suddenly gained a load of new fans: pioneering DJs such as Grandmaster Flash and DJ Kool Herc regularly used their 'breakbeats', and a little later their music was sampled by hip-hop giants such as The Fugees, De La Soul and Gang Starr.
In addition, they also inspired the British weird groove movement with their 'reinvented' music. The appreciation of these new fans eventually led to the band officially reuniting in 2012, and three years later they even released a new album entitled 'A Simple Act of Faith'.
The experienced band still plays sporadically shows all over the world and will perform in the Main Hall of Paradiso for the first time on April 22.
Please note: the end time is an indication.
