Global Cuba Fest: Featuring Daymé Arocena & Cimafunk

About Daymé Arocena: With her captivating charisma and radiant spirit, Daymé Arocena effortlessly blends traditional Santerian chant, jazz stylings, contemporary R&B influences, and Afro-Cuban rhythmic complexity for audiences worldwide. Her passion for the musical traditions of her homeland is boundless – “reigniting the Cuban soundtrack wherever she plays” (NPR). At every performance, Daymé coaxes her audiences into lively call-and-response chants with an irrepressible smile on her face, enamoring the whole audience in her charm. “Scat-singing over her trio’s swaying rhumbas and cha-cha-chas,” (DownBeat), Daymé’s impact upon the history of Cuban music is undeniable.

About Cimafunk: Erik Alejandro Rodriguez, or Cimafunk, is the latest and hottest addition to Havana’s melting pot of a music scene, making music built on a fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms with funk. NPR describes his sound as “a perfect mash up of Cuban music and James Brown with a big dose of Parliament Funkadelic.” Born in rural Cuba in the province of Pinar del Rio, Erik sang at his church on Sundays before working odd jobs and eventually deciding to study medicine. After two years, he realized his dream was to create music – so he dropped out of school, moved to Havana, and began his journey as Cimafunk. In 2018, Cimafunk saw record numbers of concert-goers at Cuba’s hottest cultural space, the Fabrica de Arte. Cimafunk blends funk, and a concert of his will take concertgoers on a ride from the rhythms of Afro-Cuban rituals to the sounds of “Brick House”, sped up and Caribbean-ized. It’s unlike anything happening in the music world today.
