Cuban music has a new global ambassador: Cimafunk. With a name and image that pays tribute to the Cimarrons–Cubans of African descent who resisted slavery–and music and showmanship that reembodies funk legends from the last century, the medical-school student turned funk artist has developed into a musical force crafting the sonic future of the island and a global, cultural phenomenon who unites and celebrates Blackness across borders, oceans and languages. 

With his unmistakable Afro-Cuban sounds, no-holds-barred live show and multiple Grammy nominations, Cimafunk is redefining what the planet understands as Cuban music. From a local sensation on Havana’s small alternative music scene to global success, Cimafunk’s ascent has been as dizzying as an F1 race. Performing with La Tribu (The Tribe), his nine-piece band from Havana, Cimafunk has electrified global audiences on massive stages and worldwide temples of music, making a name for himself as one of the great showmen of today.
