David Sancious certainly bears mention, but I don't think he's played in an all black guys prog band.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Tosin Abasi in Animals as Leaders immediately comes to mind.
Other than that, I can think of Jimi Hendrix (Personally I consider him progressive as he did a lot of things that weren't being done during his time)... Honestly I can't think of many, either. Metal bands like F5, Stuck Mojo, Rage Against the Machine, and Killswitch Engage, all have one or more black members.
There's a local artist where I live who plays really awesome proggy music and is black; he's one of the few local artists I actually enjoy listening to.
Race isn't really important in life, but I can see where it's worth pointing out that black people in prog are a bit of a rarity.

I know a lot of black musicians in prog bands but not of an exclusively black band.

Why? Can't I ask about afroamerican or african or whathever prog band made of black people for my personal culture. It's just that I find it rare, maybe it's not.

I was thinking of how rare this is and of the fact that I know none. I would like you to help me find some symphonic prog (or even eclectic or crossover or heavy prog) bands wich are made of black people.
Like classic prog bands made of afroamericans.
