Cymande are the greatest band you’ve likely never heard of and this is their incredible untold story. Formed in south London by musicians who came to the UK from the Caribbean as part of the Windrush generation and led by Patrick Patterson (guitar) and Steve Scipio (bass), they combined jazz, funk, soul and Caribbean grooves to create a new sound. Their music was political, spiritual - they were all about peace and love, a dove was their symbol - and ahead of its time. Illustrated with archival footage, the story of these unsung heroes is told on screen through new interviews with the original band members filmed over two years.
In cinemas 16 February 2024. On BFI Player and Blu-ray 26 February.
