Cymande - BBC In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-29-2025

Here's another album from the 2025 Glastonbury Festival. This one is a lesser known but interesting band called Cymande.

I'm so glad that this band got enough votes in the Glastonbury poll I had here. I had liked some of their music, but I'd had no idea they'd still existed in 2025. They are a British band, but many members originally came from different countries in the Caribbean, and that mixture led to an usual musical style. Their Wikipedia article says, "Cymande were noted for an eclectic mix of funk, soul, reggae, rock, African music, calypso, and jazz." They released three well-regarded albums between 1971 and 1974, but then they broke up. However, they regrouped in the 2010s, and released new albums in 2015 and 2025. 

Here's their Wikipedia entry, if you want to know more:

As usual with this concert, the music is unreleased, but the sound quality is excellent. I started with a high quality video file, converted it to audio, and broke it into mp3s. 

This album is 57 minutes long.
