If you get the chance PLEASE see these guys live, it’s an out of body experience! Time stops, all your troubles evaporate, it’s cosmic funk from another dimension!
Am i the only one that is obsessed with his lady backup singer?!?! Like shes amazing! Shortee has not missed a beat, she pulled the trombone out killed it! AND i need someone to pay attention to this melanin and dreads 😍. But wait AND she cuban?!?! 😮. D.O.P.E!!!!
I have never heard an NPR audience SCREAM like that at the end of every song. This is the biggest reaction I've ever heard for a Tiny Desk Concert, and for good reason. GOOD GAWD that was funky!!
I just love how they're all looking around and smiling at each other because they know they are absolutely vibing with each other. It is such a great thing to see.
Just saw them last night in San Jose. Best live performance I’ve ever seen. The energy, how tight everybody was playing, the style….absolutely amazing. I would pay $100 just to see them play again.
For those who don't understand the Spanish language, don't worry because his lyrics are full of very Cuban phrases that even other Spanish speakers outside of Cuban culture would also find a little difficult to follow. And that is precisely the strength of this talented composer and singer. His lyrics are very, very Cuban and that rhythm where he combines Cuban-Caribbean rhythms and American Funk is extremely contagious.
NPR has very slowly but surely become my 1st call source of refreshing news about undiscovered and established musicians, with such a variety that is so welcome....One is never sure what to expect. And these live recordings always have a fresh vibe on whatever the artist portrays in their recorded work. Sometimes better, sometimes worse...always fresh.... I definitely loved this one...
@@nprmusic You guys need to become what MTV used to be. Maybe Netflix Seasons. Outstanding, clear w/o commercialism. Artists and music front and center. Cant stop watching. Congrats!
Despues de ver este video, me obsesione con CimaFunk y he visto sus conciertos en vivo y escuchado sus canciones de estudio y llego a la conclusión, que es de esas bandas que suena muchísimo mejor en vivo , que en estudio
Saw this group on Austin City Limits and wanted more so I hopped over to NPR and of course they are here! You cant help but dance to their music , even if you can't dance, you will be!
Para que vean que todo lo que sale de Cuba no es reggaeton!!!! ..... not everything that comes from Cuba is reggaeton. Me gustó mucho. Felicidades !!!!!!!
¡Qué descarga más bárbara! Los brillantes cubiches de Cimafunk demuestran que el buen sincretismo musical sigue vivo y sano. Un millón de gracias. Thank you, NPR. Mucho Aché y Shalom.
Saw this phenomenal band at Millenial Park summer of 2022, the sun was setting behind the Chicago buildings, and at the end of their set, they called the whole audience to come to the stage and dance with them. Until today one of my top 10 moments in life, truly a magical experience.
It’s Cuban music, when he started off he was singing “blame it on me”, the first song he was singing a song about cooking a woman food, second song he was singing about finding something beautiful in life and over coming all the negative that one may be dealing with, and the last song he was singing about leaving to go to his home, finding nothing interesting outside, and also adds in that if a woman asked him over he’d go over to their house too if allowed or something. That’s pretty much the only things I could come up with from what he sang/said.
in the chorus of the last song he was singing "Me vooooyyyyy pa' mi casa, igual si tu quieres me voy pa' la tuya" which means "I'm going home, but if you want I can go to yours"
Saludos de Southampton en Inglaterra donde un otro día ha empezado con un cielo gris y de nuevo está lloviendo...tu música ha puesto una sonrisa a mi cara y me hace querer bailar...Lo siento por mi mal español pero gracias de nuevo por la buena música que cimafunk ha traído entre mi vida esta mañana y claro por el excelente Tiny Desk...es uno de mis sitos favoritos porque toda la música nueva que me he descubierto aquí.Gracias de nuevo...Yo Yo Ma, Max Richter, Tower of Power, Tedeschi Trucks band...so much great music..Keep up the fantastic work...
De Cuba ha salido mucha buena música de paso en nuestro país se originaron géneros como El danzón,Son,Cha Cha Cha,Cun Cun,Rumba y muchos más,que salieron específicamente a New York donde nuestra querida Celia Cruz y otros músicos los mezclaron y sazonan y dan sabor hasta el día de hoy las pistas de bailes de todo el mundo.Muy orgullosa del talento de mi país 🇨🇺.Bravo Cimafunk!!!👏👏👏🫶🏻
I was in at 0.01 seconds when he says Whoo, the music already had my head bobbing. No clue what they're singing but FEELING EVERY BIT OF THE FUNK😎 YAAASSSSSSSS!
I didn't understand the words but the music was saying something serious to my soul. Have to look them up. Absolutely beautiful music and the vocals are like butter on hot toast beautiful beautiful
Chorus says 'am going home'.. we use that expression in Cuba.. when we hang out in the night as 'single' and we're looking forward to 'some company'.. 😜.. catch it? greetings from Cuba
y ademas son excepcionales personas. En un evento en vivo en La Habana empezo a llover a la hora de empezar el concierto y los productores empezaron a cubrir los equipos de audio. Todo el mundo se quedo mojandose esperando el concierto y ellos salieron a tocar sin audio y bajo el aguacero. Sobre el 2018 en El Sauce. Eso no lo hace (casi) ningun musico !!!! Also, they are outstanding people. In a live concert in Havana, El Sauce place at 2018, it started to rain and the producers preserve the audio equipment with covers. Nobody gone and the band began to play without sound system. Sensational!!! Today, many few musician does that. AND SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH !!!!
If you ever see this guy performing in concert you'll know he is doing his best to contain his moves to that tiny space hahaha this band is a beast performing! Left Cuba before they got recognized but got to enjoy them live here in the US!!!
jajajaj Te cogió lo que anda NPR Music!! Nunca imaginé poder encontrar aca uno de los grupos que mejor suena en estos momentos en la Habana y en Cuba. Ojala poder seguir encontrando gente del patio en este canal. It is a very pleasant surprise to find one of the best groups in Havana and Cuba, on this channel. Thanks for that!!

Me gustó mucho.
Felicidades !!!!!!!
De Cuba salen maravillas para el que tiene horizontes más amplios que el reggaeton.
Marcos Crego es algo muy especial de 🇨🇺🇨🇺
Pues el reggaeton es mas bien de puerto rico, pero buen intento campeón
tampoco es que esto sea para el salon de la fama
