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. Cimafunk’s debut album, Terapia (2018), with its groundbreaking No. 1 single “Me Voy,” followed by his breakout performance at SXSW 2019 and widely praised NPR Tiny Desk Concert, started a movement of converting millions of people to the religion of groove, one live show at a time. The Afro-Cuban rock star has moved the spotlight well beyond the Buena Vista Social Club, salsa and reggaeton.
