Okan
Okan is the Toronto-based duo of Cuban-born multi-instrumentalists Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne, blending Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, folk, and global rhythms. Both classically trained musicians (violin and percussion, respectively), they infuse their music with Yoruba chants, jazz improvisation, and contemporary social commentary, often switching between Spanish, English, and Lucumí languages. Their tracks like "Yemaya (Ile Ladde)" and "Eshu Nigüe" celebrate Santería deities while addressing diaspora experiences, delivered through hypnotic claves, layered vocals, and fusion-forward arrangements. Nominated for a 2023 Juno Award, they've become Canadian music scene staples through albums like "Okantomi" and festival performances that turn traditional rhythms into dancefloor-friendly grooves.
