About
Cimafunk is one the most exciting new faces in the Latin music space, and a pioneer in bringing Afro-Cuban funk to the world. Singer, composer and producer, the young Cuban sensation offers a subtle and bold mix of funk with Cuban music and African rhythms, which is currently revolutionizing the island’s musicscene.
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.
He is back with a new album to be released by Sony in February 2027 and produced by Emilo Estefan. Furthermore, he is in the selection for the Grammy Awards 2027 with his last album recorded with La Tribu (Best album Rock and alternative Latin + Best performance)
Following several acclaimed tours in Europe and the United States accompanied by La Tribu – a group of nine passionate musicians – the Afro-Cuban rock star CIMAFUNK has established himself as one of today’s bet performer. His electrifying concerts are a celebration of groove and an unforgettable physical experience. CIMAFUNK creates a unique world, redefining contemporary Cuban music, Afro-Latin identity and the fusion of Black cultures through funk, Afrobeat and hip hop.
