SUMMARY:Cimafunk
DESCRIPTION:Cuban music has a new global ambassador: Cimafunk. With a name and image that pays tribute to the Cimarrons – Cubans of African descent that resisted slavery – and music and showmanship that re-embodies 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 that unites and celebrates blackness across borders\, oceans and languages. \nWith his unmistakable AfroCuban sounds\, no holds barred live show and multiple Grammy-nominations\, Cimafunk is redefining what the planet understands as Cuban music. Cimafunk’s debut album “Terapia” (2018)\, with its groundbreaking #1 single “Me Voy” – followed by his breakout performance at SXSW 2019 and widely praised NPR Tiny Desk Concert\, started a movement of converting millions of people to the religion of groove\, one live show at a time. The AfroCuban rockstar has moved the spotlight well beyond the Buena Vista Social Club\, salsa and reggaeton. \nFrom a local sensation on Havana’s small alternative music scene to global success\, Cimafunk’s ascent is as dizzying as an F1 race. Performing with La Tribu (The Tribe)\, his 9-piece band from Havana\, Cimafunk has electrified global audiences on massive stages and worldwide temples of music\, making a name for himself as one of the great showmen of today. From New Orleans Jazz Festival and Lollapalooza Chile to becoming the first Cuban-born artist to play Coachella\, this undisputed star of Afro-Latin music has earned the adoration of musical icons such as Argentine Fito Páez\, who has hailed him as “one of the lights of the continent’s future\,” the Godfather of Funk George Clinton\, who refers to him as “the next one\,” and Chucho Valdés\, who credits Cimafunk with masterfully and organically blending “AfroCuban with African American\, converting this into a new school that until now I haven’t heard done.” \nCimafunk’s distinctive musical fusion continued to grow in its artistry with both the release of his second album  “El Alimento” (‘The Nourishment ) -which was met with an abundance of critical praise that included Best Albums of the Year lists of Rolling Stone\, NPR and more… as well as an equal volume of glowing reviews for his unrivaled live shows\, which quickly made him one of the most in-demand festival performers. \nCimafunk has collaborated on records and shared the stage with the likes of Alejandro Sanz\, CeeLo Green\, ChocQuibTown\, Chucho Valdés\, Fito Páez\, Fonseca\, Fred Wesley\, Galactic\, George Clinton\, Jon Batiste\, Juanes\, Leoni Torres\, Lettuce\, Lupe Fiasco\, Preservation Hall\,\, Omar Portuondo\, Orquesta Aragón\, Robert Glasper\, String Cheese Incident\, The Soul Rebels and Trombone Shorty. Susan Sarandon\, Ron Delsner and other personalities have become superfans\, often seen side-stage lost in the groove\, and the likes of Paul McCartney and more have come out to check out the AfroCuban sensation. \nAfter the success of El Alimento\, Cimafunk delves even further into his exploration of the intersections between funk and the sounds of the continent and gives us Pa’ Tu Cuerpa (Mala Cabeza Records)\, his most polished and mature production to date\, on August 23rd\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Keyon Harrold
DESCRIPTION:When Keyon Harrold is listing the influences that he turned to during the creation of his rich and evocative new album Foreverland (January 2024 / Concord)\, he cites the likes of Radiohead\, Fleet Foxes\, Fela Kuti\, John Coltrane\, and\, for a second\, he becomes vulnerable — the list is too basic\, too serious music listener starter pack. But\, out of that moment of insecurity\, he spins an indelible flex: “You are what you eat\, and I have a pretty strict diet in dope shit.” \nTaking in Keyon Harrold’s career to-date\, it’s clear that the “world-class trumpeter” (Essence) and composer is very serious about that diet. He’s a jazz musician but in the most expansive sense\, working with a list of dream collaborators: generational legends Keith Richards and Diana Ross; rap stars like Mac Miller and Nas; neo-soul icons Erykah Badu and D’Angelo; and modern soul stars Black Pumas and Leon Bridges. His circle of regular collaborators is formidable and includes his music industry mentor Common (who hired him for his first touring gig)\, his New School classmate Robert Glasper\, and GRAMMY winners Maxwell\, PJ Morton\, Gregory Porter\, and YEBBA. \nThere’s also his extensive touring and recording work with pop music royalty\, Jay-Z and Beyonce. And\, while it’s perhaps lazy to compare Keyon to Miles Davis\, the connection is a little more apropos than at first glance: Harrold contributed all of the trumpet playing in Don Cheadle’s GRAMMY-winning Miles Davis biopic Miles Ahead\, playing to match Cheadle’s on-screen performances. \nKeyon has recorded two acclaimed solo records\, 2009’s Introducing Keyon Harrold and 2017’s breakthrough release The Mugician\, which established Keyon as “a certified legend in the game” (Okayplayer). Featuring Pharoahe Monch\, Gary Clark\, Jr.\, Big K.R.I.T.\, Guy Torry\, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Robert Glasper\, the record garnered praise from The New York Times (“stirring…consolidates elegy and exhortation”) and Billboard (“equal parts music and magic”). \nHowever\, the origins of Foreverland begin not at the crest of a professional and artistic high but in the doldrums of COVID-19 lockdown. A pandemic birthday found Keyon adrift. It was a period of stagnation\, of exhaustion in the wake of challenges both universal (global health catastrophe\, racial injustice) and personal (the passing of his mother\, the highly publicized and racially charged assault of his 14-year-old son). \nLooking for a break and a fresh perspective\, a recommendation from his brother and a friend had him headed to Vegas. But instead of the tables\, Keyon hit the studio. After months of isolation\, it was invigorating to reconnect with friends after so long apart. This camaraderie was the creative spark Keyon needed. The sessions were loose and exploratory\, but with an artistic focus he hadn’t felt in years. \nThe resulting music was mesmerizing. Keyon embraced a less-is-more attitude: “It was almost minimalist in a way. I wanted it to sound as if it’s easy but there’s more complexity deep within\, to pull melody and beauty out of the abstract.” He allowed harmonic structures to vamp\, slowly thickening harmonies for maximum emotional impact. \n“Each song has a harmony that evokes a mood\,” Keyon says. “I invite you to live in this tonality with me. It’s not about a million notes a second\, it’s about finding the right mood to open people’s chakras. The color of each mood gives me solace — it allowed me to reignite the hopes I had\, to begin digging out of a down period.” \nWith live music on pause\, the rare luxury of time allowed Keyon to sculpt these largely improvised sounds into a shape that evoked and conveyed each emotion he was grasping at. It was a deliberate and thoughtful process. Says Keyon: “It took me a long time to say what I want to say\, to really hone in on what I do. I want to make songs that hit like pop radio but have a depth of color and character\, to embrace the genius in simplicity.” \nForeverland is reflective\, immediate and uplifting. Keyon harnesses the raw expression of those original Vegas takes and creates a dreamy yet tactile landscape of sound. It provides the perfect canvas for his playing\, his tone projecting a creamy clarity but navigating ambiguous waters with an open-hearted hopefulness. “What I can offer as a musician who plays an instrument with no words is an honest conveyance of emotion\,” says Keyon. “Some of these notes\, I play them because there’s not a better word.” \nForeverland is a family affair — pretty much every musician who appears on the record is a longtime friend\, and Keyon accounts the record’s warmness to this dynamic. “It’s like the ingredients of a great meal: you don’t need just any pepper\, you need a certain kind. Every musician on this record is a rare and essential element.” \nEach collaboration brings Foreverland into further focus. PJ Morton lends a wistful vocal to the nostalgic “Beautiful Day\,” a track that radiates positivity as it revels in the gifts of everyday existence. Elsewhere\, Common and Robert Glasper contribute to the sweep and poetry of the almost mystical album opener “Find Your Peace\,” a track that exhorts listeners to embrace their own agency and summon their inner strength. Meanwhile\, the Laura Mvula-featuring title track is the very quintessence of the word lush — stacks of vocal harmonies stretch endlessly in a spiritual merger between Pharoah Sanders’ skybound jazz odysseys and the warm invitation of vintage soul. \n“Don’t Lie\,” which features the emerging young singer Malaya\, pairs a levitating keyboard figure with a stuttering rhythm that’s part Art Blakey drum fill\, part J Dilla sample chop. Against much of the album’s tranquility\, it portrays an internal tumult — the kind that Keyon feels is necessary for growth. “The operative word in testimony is test. The troubles are troublesome but they’re part of my walk\, and there’s value in having a different experience\, good or bad. It gives me a deeper context to pull from and enrich the message of my music.” \n“Pictures\,” Foreverland’s penultimate track\, is the sonic articulation of the internal recalibration that follows these tests. Keyon’s yearnful singing on the track is ever more poignant when considering his mother’s passing: “When I miss you\, images shout in a quiet room / I’ll atone / I’ll fix everything that’s wrong.” \nEven apart from its compositional intricacies and stylistic innovations\, Foreverland is a triumph of resilience and empowerment. “What will be said when you’re gone?\,” says Keyon. “If you’re not living life — getting beat up\, getting your heart broken\, winning\, losing — what are you doing? What about your life can people learn from? If you don’t put yourself in the ring sometimes\, there won’t be anything.” On Foreverland\, Keyon takes life’s challenges head-on — and emerges\, in both music and in life\, with a renewed sense of purpose.

From Expectationsto Closer to The R&B You Love\, he’s delivered a steady run of critically acclaimed\, top 5 iTunes charting albums that both honor the genre’s roots and reimagine its future. \nHis 2023 and 2024 GRAMMY nominations for “Lucky” and “Can I Have This Groove” (both from The R&B You Love: Soul of the ’70s) marked a defining moment in his solo career. That same year\, he completed his second headlining tour in support of the album\, with most dates selling out nationwide. \nMost recently\, Dixon released Come As You Are—a collaborative R&B\, soul\, and jazz fusion album with super-producer Terrace Martin\, best known for his work on Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and Good Kid\, M.A.A.D City. The project is already earning widespread acclaim for its bold fusion of genres\, spiritual depth\, and cultural authenticity. \nBeyond his own records\, Dixon’s creative footprint spans across the industry. He co-wrote 10 songs on Justin Timberlake’s latest albumEverything I Thought It Was\, arranged and vocally produced theICU Remix for Coco Jones\, and co-wrote “Keep Going Up.” He also served as music director for Revolt TV’s The Link Up II and continues to be a go-to collaborator for artists across genres. \nDixon’s music has also made its way to the screen\, featured in hit shows and films like The Chi\, Bel-Air\, and Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black. In 2025\, he earned an NAACP Image Award nomination for Best Collaboration for his duet “Whatcha Done Now” with R&B powerhouse Leela James—adding another milestone to an already stellar run. \nWith a sound that fuses nostalgia and innovation\, Kenyon Dixon isn’t just delivering the R&B you love—he’s defining what its future sounds like.
