Events Description

 

On Nov 25th, OKAN is set to perform in Ottawa at Club SAW located on 67 Nicholas Street.

Fusing Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, folk and global rhythms in songs about immigration, resistance and love, OKAN takes their name from the word for heart in their Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria. With vocals in Spanish, Yoruba and Spanglish, OKAN is led by the Cuban-born violinist and vocalist Elizabeth Rodriguez and percussionist and vocalist Magdelys Savigne, both Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominees.

OKAN’s Juno-winning sophomore release Espiral debuted in first place on Canada’s !Earshot charts and was included in NPR’s top 10 Alt Latino and CBC Music’s top 20 of that year. Their recently-released third full-length album, Okantomi (Lulaworld Records, 2023) has been included in top release lists by JAZZIZ, CBC Music and Remezcla.
