Cimafunk is an electrifying artist hailing from Cuba, infusing the global music scene with a rich blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms and the funky grooves of African American heritage. Born Erik Alejandro Iglesias Rodriguez, Cimafunk adopted his stage name as a testament to his musical mission: a fusion of "cimarrón", referring to the runaway enslaved Africans in Cuba, and "funk". This moniker perfectly encapsulates his sound, which is a vibrant celebration of his African roots blended with funk, salsa, and everything in between.

Since bursting onto the scene, Cimafunk has been a force of innovation and cross-cultural expression, with a dynamic energy that resonates through his recorded music and live performances. His discography features an exciting range of singles and collaborations that highlight his versatility and willingness to experiment with different sounds and genres. Tracks like "Playa Noche", "Te tengo en salsa", and "El Alimento" showcase his ability to create music that makes you want to dance, while "Rómpelo" (feat. Lupe Fiasco) exemplifies his knack for successful international collaborations. Through his works, Cimafunk continues to redefine what Cuban music can be, making him a trailblazer and a symbol of Afro-Cuban empowerment in the modern music world.
