Artown Cultural Connections: Cimafunk

Cimafunk is a Grammy-nominated, Afro-Cuban Rockstar. 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 that aims to subvert classical Cuban rhythms with innovative mixes of funk, afrobeat and hip hop. With La Tribu, his 8-person band from Havana, Cimafunk performs an electric live show, a celebration of groove and an unforgettable sonic and bodily experience.
