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. He will be performing an electric live show with La Tribu, his 9-person band from Havana.
Hartford Live will run through mid-September and feature a beer garden, food trucks, local vendors, and more!
Additional artists will be announced soon!
Hartford Live is an ambitious addition to the city’s ongoing economic development and activation campaign.
