Cimafunk: KUTX Live in Studio 6A SXSW 2022 Full Set

Cimafunk KUTX Live in Studio 6A SXSW 2022
Since his 2017 debut, Cimafunk has been attracting fans outside of his native Cuba with hard-hitting funk jams and electrifying stage shows. His cimarrón heritage (fugitive slaves who settled in the wild to lead a free life in Cuba) empowers his Afro-Cuban mix of funky grooves, but he also takes a little from George Clinton’s diasporic funk from here in the States. In short, the last 500 years of Afro-Caribean-American history led us to this wonderful moment where we can all dance to Cimafunk together.
We’ve had the honor of hanging out with Cimafunk for a few SXSW now. Most recently, Cimafunk and The Tribe brought the dance party to historic Studio 6a, the former home of Austin City Limits, for a live broadcast during SXSW 2022.

Estos manes son pura magiaaaa .. que viva cuba vía el funkkkkk

[@feliperudloff5544]

Cimafunk vino a reactivar el funk, y eso es mucho decir. Lo que la música cubana toca, lo arregla, lo reinventa, lo mejora, lo expande, lo potencia con color, sabor, rumba y timba. No hay como la música cubana.
