Streatham Free Film Festival - Cymande : Getting It Back

They’re the greatest band you’ve never heard of…but you've heard their songs.

The British group Cymande are unsung heroes whose message of peace, love and funk sailed beyond Britain's shores and helped shape music for five decades. Long after they stopped playing, the music played on, so they returned to play some more.

Now their story is told on screen for for the first time, with tributes from a galaxy of musicians and producers influenced and enthralled by their music, including Mark Ronson, Norman Jay, Jazzie B, DJ Maseo of De La Soul, Jim James and Louie Vega.

Free Film Festivals is a community group that organises free neighbourhood film festivals to encourage community involvement through film.
