The third annual CimaFest NOLA is scheduled to take place at the Civic Theater on May 2nd, 2025, the second weekend of Jazz Fest, and will feature Grammy-nominated Afro-Cuban funk artist Cimafunk and his band, La Tribu.
“CimaFest is about more than music; it’s a celebration of heritage, groove, and the global funk movement,” Cimafunk said as part of an official announcement (h/t Offbeat). “This year, we’re bringing even more energy and surprises. It’s going to be a night to remember.”
CimaFest highlights the cultural connections between Cuba and the city of New Orleans by blending Afro-Cuban rhythms with New Orleans funk and has seen the likes of Chucho Valdés, La Dame Blanche, and Big Freedia perform in the past.
