The musician did not sit down to wait for luck to knock on his door and he set off to conquer the world after leaving the medical career in Pinar del R\u00edo and making a living in different trades when he settled in Havana. He knocked on doors that remained closed and opened others with the will of a long-distance runner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erick Iglesias, his real name, got everybody on the island eating out of his hand and in a very short time he has hoisted his flag of stylistic miscegenation in a handful of the main sites that are part of the universal history of music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On his return to the United States he filled Central Park to capacity this Monday during the summer concerts and put thousands of people dancing to the rhythm of his Terapia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The public included a large Latino community who knew about the &#8220;Cimafunk phenomenon&#8221; and others who sat down on the grass of Central Park to witness that kind of rhythmic orgy caused by the drive of these rhythms inherited by the Cuban from his African ancestors and all those stars who have traveled the path of the origins of funk, jazz and other genres with black roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Cimafunk becomes a stage animal in each performance, he feels that each day that goes by is a journey inward, towards himself. A kind of dialogue between all his ancestors, between all the musicians that inhabit it, and that results in that explosion of adrenaline he has accustomed his followers, who are a legion.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205054\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205054\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima2-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205054\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima2-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima2-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima2-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima2-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima2-2-750x500.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cimafunk filled Central Park.

The performance, he says, was a huge surprise and a crucial moment for his career. His voice through the social media still gives off the same bursts of energy with which he previously attacked an audience that saw how the Cuban was transformed during the afternoon into the closest thing to an indomitable whirlwind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It was very important for my career to perform in Central Park. I enjoyed it very much. The whole place was full of people and we were very excited. It was an explosive concert. Most of them were people from the Latino and Cuban community. Some knew my songs but many didn\u2019t know about our show. In the end, people connected a lot with the themes and the show,&#8221; Cimafunk said to <strong>OnCuba<\/strong> shortly after climbing another step in his career with this concert at one of the U.S. music circuit\u2019s most longstanding sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dozens of people approached the musician after the show. Children with their parents and complete families. They wanted to take some pictures with Erick and greet him. That moment again filled him with emotion, still at edge because of the public\u2019s warm welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205056\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205056\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima3-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205056\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima3-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima3-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima3-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima3-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima3-1-750x500.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cuban musician talked with the audience that filled the installation.

It is even common to hear Cimafunk&#8217;s voice on the tone of a cell phone or in the middle of those rolling relics on which many Cubans usually travel. And it is already known that classifying on those playlists is not an easy task.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205057\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima5-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205057\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima5-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima5-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima5-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima5-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima5-1-750x500.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cimafunk.

The line to buy tickets began early until they were forced to place the <em>Sold Out<\/em> sign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Music has always been the best language in which Cuba and the United States have communicated. Since those years when the same musicians who have had an influence on Cimafunk formed the Sunday rumba jam sessions in the same Central Park. The tradition is talked about as the interest among the American public for Cuban musicians remains. Erick just confirmed it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205058\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima6-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205058\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima6-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima6-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima6-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima6-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/cima6-1-750x500.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More than 2,000 people gathered to listen to the themes of the Cuban artist.

The name of this club, as is known, refers to the same origins of jazz and other genres that became great there before touring the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cimafunk and his group know the legend and lived up to it. The phrase of <em>Sold Out<\/em> was placed again outside an installation that programs a Cuban concert in the United States. It happened before in Florida and other cities where he has landed with his group, his thrust and his rhythmic force.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1pvTtPBsYi\/?utm_source=ig_embed<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The musician comments that his life has been gravitating around emotions that he finds difficult to explain, to describe. He considers his performance in the Blue Note as historical. He comments this while he explodes with emotion when he sees the work done by the award-winning Cuban caricaturist Rams\u00e9s Morales. He calls over the members of his group and the jokes and laughter can be heard like a nearby echo through the social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205060\" style=\"width: 678px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ramses-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205060\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ramses-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ramses-1.jpg 678w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ramses-1-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Work by Rams\u00e9s Morales.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This concert was amazing.
