Atlanta, get ready. One of the most influential and enduring acts in the history of funk, soul, and reggae is coming to Little Five Points — and if you let this one slip by, you will absolutely regret it. Cymande takes the stage at the iconic Variety Playhouse on March 26, 2026, and this is the kind of night that becomes a story you tell for decades.

Who Is Cymande — And Why Should Every Atlanta Fan Care?

If you think you don't know Cymande, think again. Formed in London in the early 1970s by a collective of Caribbean-British musicians, Cymande crafted a sound so deep, so hypnotic, and so undeniably funky that it became the secret weapon of hip-hop producers for generations. Their breakbeats and grooves have been sampled by some of the biggest names in music — from De La Soul to Run-DMC to Fugees. If you've ever nodded your head to a sample-heavy classic hip-hop track, chances are Cymande's DNA was somewhere in that record.

Their self-titled debut album and tracks like "Bra" and "The Message" didn't just define an era — they shaped the future of an entire genre. Cymande is a living musical legacy, and they remain one of the most compelling live acts breathing today.
