Biography / meet your favorite artist

Cimafunk is by far Cuba's revelation of the year. Named by Billboard as one of "10 Latin Artists to watch in 2019", he has literally taken by storm every stage he went on. Cimafunk is a cimarrón*, a free being defying classification, a pilgrim in search of new musical miscegenation and the reunion of black music. He believes in nothing but the power of the Groove and the cathartic communion of dancing bodies. A renaissance man, conscious of his roots and musical ancestry, Cimafunk's music looks firmly into the future. Singer, composer and producer, Cimafunk offers a subtle and bold mix of funk with Cuban music and African rhythms, a life-affirming sound, a UFO in the island's music scene. His debut album «Terapia» (Independent Production, 2017) and especially his electric live shows are inexorably conquering a multitude of audiences from Havana to Paris. He broke attendance records in iconic venues such as the SXSW, Tipitina's in New Orleans, Grammy Museum in LA and La Tropical in Havana.
