Cuban music has a new global ambassador: Cimafunk. With a name and image that pays tribute to the Cimarrons–Cubans of African descent who resisted slavery–and music and showmanship that reembodies funk legends from the last century, the medical-school student turned funk artist has developed into a musical force crafting the sonic future of the island and a global, cultural phenomenon who unites and celebrates Blackness across borders, oceans and languages.

Renowned Venezuelan comedian Emilio Lovera presents Now the Thug Is Really Scared to delight a nostalgic audience with his signature humor. The highlight of the night will undoubtedly be “El Carro de Drácula [Dracula's Car],” a comedic story that became a hit across Latin America through bootleg recordings. Lovera will also deliver his trademark analysis of the typical Venezuelan, explore the concept of “criolla liveliness” and discuss Latin American urban legends such as La Llorona, the Weeping Woman and El Silbón, the Whistler. Lovera will showcase the best of Venezuelan humor and perform fan-favorite musical numbers.

This show will be presented in Spanish.
