Okan (band)


Okan is a Canadian Afro-Cuban jazz group, whose core members are Cuban Canadian musicians Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne. They are most noted for their 2019 debut album Sombras, which was a Juno Award nominee for World Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020.
Rodriguez and Savigne are both former members of Jane Bunnett's band Maqueque, who left that band in 2017 to form Okan. They perform both as a duo, and as leaders of a larger combo featuring session musicians.
