Cimafunk has no wikipedia entry yet! (But not for long).
They played NPR's Tiny Desk concert last week.
Their YouTube channel has only 21 tracks at the moment.

Thank you for the post. Cimafunk and musicians such as Pedrito MartĂ­nez prove that brilliant musical syncretism is still alive and well in Cuban music.

Thank You! đź’– Just what I needed on a dreary Sunday morning in the time of madness.

Hoping that all MeFi folks are doing well.

This is not usually my jam, but what energy! Impossible not to be swept along!

Bonus fun moments: The backup singer whipped out a trombone a couple of times. Not something I usually see.
