Cimafunk, the rising star of Cuban music, invites trombone legend Fred Wesley for a night to remember at the 2022 Jazz à La Villette festival, in Paris. Known for his vibrant performances and exuberant energy on stage, Cimafunk is know for is skill in fusing genres, regularly mixing Afro-Cuban music with funk and hip-hop. The addition of Fred Wesley, a sideman to James Brown and a member of Parliament-Funkadelic, unleashes waves of funky virtuosity onto the Grande Halle de La Villette. Tradition and modernity meet to take the audience on a musical journey, guided by two generational talents!
