No introduction is needed for CQMD, godfathers of modern European marching bands, all-night groovers and tireless globe-trotters (31 countries to date). After a 21-year career, 8 albums and more than a 1200 concerts, this independent funk band is still making the whole planet dance. The Funk is their style. Wether it be Second Line, Go-Go, P-Funk or Rocksteady (Jamaican Soul) Funk is always the central ingredient in their English compositions. After rubbing shoulders with the big names of the genre (Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins, The Neville Brothers) and even jamming with french rapper Joeystarr at the Paris Olympia, CQMD confirm that the funk is synonymous with eternal youth ! Their shows are intense and energetic punctuated with descents into the audience with their wireless system to the delight of dancers around the world. "This Band has a mighty swing" Wrote David Byrne on his personal blog after watching CQMD live at Joe's in NY!! "CQMD is the best French Funk band on the planet" (Stan Cuesta - Rock&Folk) ! It's a tough job, but, someone has to do it. "THIS BAND HAS A MIGHTY SWING" David Byrne.
