Getting better at this...

So I've figured out that I can embed mp3's onto this site, making it easier for YOU, the listener, to sample the goods without having to download it. I'll try and post both options for ya, but I can't promise to always do that.

Today, we've got my favorite track from an early funk group, Cymande. Pronounced sah-mahn-day, this group formed in London with musicians from Jamaica and Guyana, and brought a unique form of calypso-soul-jazz-rock-funk to the scene in the early 70's. Many years later, a number of tracks were sampled over and over again with the beginning of the hip hop and DJ scene by artists such as De La Soul and Grandmaster Flash. You may recognize this track, Brothers on the Slide. If not, you're sure to enjoy it.

    Hey man... love the site. I'm def a Cymande fan. It sucks because I can't get any good music where I live (in the UAE). I would love it if you could up that entire "The Message" album.

    Keep doin what you're doin!
