Bonnaroo 2023: Cimafunk

We begin coverage of The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival from a hot and energetic Manchester, Tennessee. First up, we talk backstage with Cimafunk, and artist that first came to our radar last year during a sold-out show in Nashville's 'Exit In' that people are still raving about. Cimafunk is a Grammy-nominated, Afro-Cuban Rockstar. His name refers to his heritage as a “cimarrón,” Cubans of African descent who resisted and escaped slavery, as well as to the essence of his music that aims to subvert classical Cuban rhythms with innovative mixes of funk, afrobeat and hip hop. Cimafunk has received overwhelming praise touring the U.S. and Europe, making a name for himself as one of today’s great showman, performing an electric live show with La Tribu, his 9-person band from Havana. His live show is a celebration of groove and an unforgettable sonic and bodily experience. Enjoy the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
