I would label them afro-jazz-funk (kind of in the same vein as Manu Dibango,
Fela Kuti, Hugh Masekela). They had several good albums in the '70s but, to my
knowledge, haven't recorded in a long while. There are a few recordings on
disc but none of the older, better ones have been re-released (by the way,
their album artwork is usually really good--colorful and 'exotic').

Does anyone have any info on this band - are they Funk/AcidJazz
related?
