Cimafunk is a Grammy-nominated Afro-Cuban rockstar tearing up stages across the globe and redefining Cuban music with his 9-piece band from Havana, The Tribe. The name Cimafunk reflects his heritage as a cimarrón – Cubans of African descent who resisted and escaped slavery – symbolizing his mission to unite and celebrate blackness across borders. With his distinctive Afro-Cuban sound, electrifying live performances, and multiple Grammy nominations, Cimafunk is a force in global music.
Considered one of today’s great showmen, Cimafunk and the Tribe are redefining contemporary Cuban music as well as Afro-Latin identity and the fusion of black cultures, with a live show that celebrates the groove and unforgettable vibes. The non-stop, action-packed live show has won the praise of the likes of Paul McCartney and George Clinton, who refers to Cimafunk as “the next one.” His last album, El Alimento (The Nutrient), was nominated at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album. His August 2024 album, Pa’ tu Cuerpa (For Your Body), includes collaborations with George Clinton, Trombone Shorty, Big Freedia, Monsieur Perine, and Michael Brun.
