Cimafunk

Cimafunk is one of the most unique artists of alternative music in Cuba. Former medical student, Cimafunk is now taking the music world by storm with his fusion of funk, Cuban sounds and African rhythms. Listed by Billboard as one of the 10 Latin Artists to Watch in 2019, Cimafunk has been expanding his reach outside of Cuba with a sold out US tour and shows across Europe. His name Cimafunk stems from his heritage, a ‘cimarrón’ is a Cuban of African descent who resisted and escaped slavery. Hailing from the rural Cuban town of Pinar Del Rio, Cima’s connection to his roots run deep, as seen in the vibrant documentary about the artist, directed by James Partridge. Watch the film 

 Read on for Cimafunk’s top spots in Havana to chill, dance and enjoy the sounds and scenes of the Cuban capital.

The Wall of Love! Love for music, love for the sea, love for the people. The Wall goes along the coastline and is the best place to sit and keep partying in the street with your friends when the party is over. All kinds of people go and have fun there.

When sweating is melody! Musical jams and concerts that are fire, dope music, the avant-garde of Cuban fusion: salsa, jazz, funk, Afro-Cuban genres or whatever occur to you. The concerts start around midnight and people just go crazy dancing. I started my musical career there and perform with Interactivo when I’m in Cuba.

The best place to discover Trova and Trovadores, a movement of Cuban songwriters. You can go for concerts and jams and then just have beers or cocktails with the crew, it’s a very informal and friendly place.

A hostel, a bar and a jewel of neo-colonial architecture. Recently renovated with a crew of young Cuban architects and designers, every room is decorated according to a famous song of Cuban music. They do regular concerts and jam sessions on the rooftop where you’ll have one of the nicest views of Havana and the sea.

For the tattoo lovers. A little house in Santa Fe village, in the outskirts of Havana. Super nice people, great artists and chill vibes closes to the sea!
