A conglomerate of US musicians based in France between 1971 and 1979, the Lafayette Afro Rock Band was originally formed as the Bobby Boyd Congress in 1970 before escaping the crowded US funk scene to relocate to France a year later. Re-naming themselves as Ice, they began performing regularly in the North African Barbès district of Paris and caught the eye of producer Pierre “Berjot” Jaubert, before becoming the house session band at his independent Parisound studio.
