ABOUT THE ARTIST:
CIMAFUNK
Get ready to get down with Cimafunk! This rising star is known for his incredible live shows: a celebration of groove and an unforgettable sonic and bodily experience. Cimafunk is an Afro-Cuban musician redefining contemporary Cuban music as well as Afro-Latin identity and the fusion of Black cultures.
His name refers to his heritage as a “cimarrón,” Cubans of African descent who resisted and escaped slavery, and to the essence of his music that aims to subvert classical Cuban rhythms with innovative mixes of funk, Afrobeat, and hip hop. Cimafunk has received overwhelming praise touring the U.S. and Europe, making a name for himself as one of today’s great showmen for his electric live shows with La Tribu, his nine-person band from Havana. His latest album, El Alimento, was nominated at the 2023 Grammy Awards for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
