Spiritual Afro-jazz-influenced ensemble founded by Idris Ackamoor, Margaux Simmons and Kimathi Asante in Paris in 1972. The members met at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio and were students of Cecil Taylor. The group recorded three independent albums (Lalibela in 1973, King Of Kings in 1974 and Birth / Speed / Merging in 1976), and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area before disbanding in 1977.

The group reformed and began releasing new music on the Strut label in 2016, reissuing their 1970s albums as well as archival recordings.
