BLACK MERDA has weathered decades of relative inactivity only to return stronger than ever in the 21st Century. Original members V.C. Veasey, Anthony Hawkins and Charles Hawkins were on tour as Edwin Starr's backup band in the mid-sixties when they had a chance encounter with the music of Jimi Hendrix. Shortly thereafter, they embarked on a course that led them to become the link between Hendrix and Funkadelic. In 1967, Black Merda recorded the first of two albums for Chess Records. For these Wasmopolitan sessions, they've reprised one of those early songs, "Cynthy-Ruth" -- a blues number that owes far more to Muddy than to Jimi.

  • It has a potency that cuts through the years like a sharp-edged knife-

    great work guys,

    it's empowering to see so much energy remaining in you

    and it sounds very fresh... How can that be?

    I don't know, but I'm loving it

    From the white kid who saw you in LA in the late 60's and early 70's

  • Merda is shit in Portuguese, Catalan, Galician and Italian but shit has nothing to do.

  • Black Merda is good band, but the name in every country that speaks spanish, portuguese and so long, don't get too well...
