The band reality were started in 1970 in Amsterdam by eight musicians from Surinam, Curaçao and Aruba as a funk band. Their first untitled album "reality" was released that same year by Dureco on the Pink Elephant label and contains several strong instrumental funk jams. Two years later, on their second album, the group was called Tony Sherman And Reality. In ‘73, Sherman went solo with another album, at which point the group Reality changed into Solat, another funky outfit, that only released a couple of singles and also recorded with Hans Dulfer as The Perikels. The singer Tony Sherman (often known as Renold Shearman) went back to Curaçao in the ’80’s.
