Afro-Cuban

Funk

Grammy-Nominated

Get ready to move with Cimafunk, Cuba’s electrifying new global ambassador of funk. With a name honoring the Cimarrons—Africans who resisted slavery in Cuba—Cimafunk fuses Afro-Cuban rhythms, soul, and unstoppable showmanship into a genre-bending, Grammy-nominated sound that’s redefining Cuban music for the world stage.

  • Revolutionary Sound: Cimafunk’s music is a euphoric blend of funkadelic grooves, Cuban rhythms, and soul, hailed by NPR and Rolling Stone as “a must-see act” and “the new sound of Cuba.”
  • Unmatched Live Energy: Backed by his 9-piece band La Tribu, Cimafunk’s high-octane performances have wowed crowds at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and the New Orleans Jazz Festival, drawing comparisons to James Brown and earning superfan status from icons like George Clinton and Susan Sarandon.
  • Trailblazing Collaborator: He’s worked with artists from CeeLo Green and John Batiste to Chucho Valdés, and his albums have inspired a new global movement of groove.
Don’t miss your chance to experience Cimafunk live—a cultural phenomenon whose infectious rhythms, magnetic stage presence, and fearless fusion of traditions will have you dancing and celebrating.
