Omega Tribe formed in Barnet in 1981 (as Deadly Game) before splitting in 1988. There was a brief reunion in 1995 but it was 2016 before they got back together properly.
They've just released a new 6 track ep on Grow Your Own Records which is available on 10" turquoise with flecks vinyl, cd and digital download on Bandcamp.
Musically their sound may have changed but their ethos remains the same. On the surface Dandara Dos Santos is a gentle sounding love song until you listen to the lyrics. It's a tender tribute in memory of a 42 year old transgender woman who was beaten, tortured, shot and bludgeoned in Fortaleza, Brazil. It's a case that highlighted the high number of attacks on transgender people. You can read more here.
