An electrifying combination of funk and soul, layered over the five-beat clave . . . the heartbeat of Cuban music, brought to Cuba by enslaved people from West Africa.

—Rolling Stone

Cimafunk takes it back there while keeping it in the now. It’s what we do, always reinventing the funk to keep it fresh.

—George Clinton

Cimafunk is a Grammy-nominated Afro-Cuban rock star. His name refers to his heritage as a cimarrón—Cubans of African descent who resisted and escaped slavery—as well as to the essence of his music, which subverts classical Cuban rhythms with innovative mixes of funk, Afrobeat, and hip hop. Cimafunk has received overwhelming praise touring the United States and Europe, performing an electric live show with La Tribu, his nine-person band from Havana. His live show is a celebration of groove and an unforgettable sonic and bodily experience. Cimafunk is redefining contemporary Cuban music as well as Afro-Latin identity and the fusion of Black cultures. His latest album, El Alimento, was nominated at the 2023 Grammy Awards for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.
