Featuring Daymé Arocena & Cimafunk in Concert!
The music is back! Join us for Global Cuba Fest, a month-long celebration of the best musicians from Cuba and the Cuban diaspora. This year, Miami Light Project, FUNDarté and The Rhythm Foundation present Daymé Arocena and CIMAFUNK, two of today's leading musicians direct from Cuba at the North Beach Bandshell.
Launched by Miami Light Project and FUNDarte in 2008, Global Cuba Fest is an internationally acclaimed celebration of the rhythms, music and culture of Cuba. Annually, Global Cuba Fest enriches Miami's musical scene with the sounds of today's leading musicians direct from Cuba and from the Cuban diaspora.
Cimafunk is a singer, a composer and a producer and one of the most singular emerging artists of Cuba's alternative music. His music is a fusion of funk and Afrocuban music. His lyrics come directly from the Cuban streets and his music is designed to get you dancing! His inspiration grows from an eclectic panel of black music: from James Brown's, George Clinton's and Prince's Funk and the soul music of Al Green and Bill Withers to Cuban "Trova" of Beny Moré and Bola de Nieve and Juan Formell's y Los Van Van's "songo". Cimafunk realesed its debut album, Terapia, at the end of 2017.
