“Cimafunk’s masterful album is the soundtrack for a euphoric soul train, serving up funkadelic grooves, kinetically punctuated by Cuban rhythms [and] stellar guests… with the joy of being alive in its every note.” – NPR
“a frenetic joy ride of freewheeling blasts of percussive funk intercut with pumped-up classic Cuban riffs… Cimafunk is engaging in a cultural mixing that celebrates a kind of Latin American hybridity … with mind-bending results. ‘El Alimento’ has thoroughly transformed him into an international funk champion” – NY Times
Cuban music has a new global ambassador, Cimafunk– and he'll dance us up under the Payomet tent on Sunday, August 3.
With a name and image that pays tribute to the Cimarrons – Cubans of African descent that resisted slavery – and music and showmanship that re-embodies 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 that unites and celebrates blackness across borders, oceans and languages.
With his unmistakable AfroCuban 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 #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 AfroCuban rockstar has moved the spotlight well beyond the Buena Vista Social Club, salsa and reggaeton.
Ticket Price: $33-$45* // Members: $30-$42
*Note that ticket prices will increase day-of-show
