OKAN

Named for the word “heart” in Santería, OKAN brings music rooted in Afro-Cuban spiritual traditions, blending batá drums, violin and powerful vocals into a live performance shaped by the heartbeat of Cuba.

Led by Grammy and Latin Grammy-nominated artists Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne, the duo brings soaring vocals, rich percussion and multilingual storytelling in Spanish, Yoruba and Spanglish to their Judson’s debut.

Their breakthrough album Okantomi earned the 2024 JUNO Award for Best Global Music Album and helped launch them onto international stages from NPR’s Tiny Desk to Lincoln Center. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with artists like Rodrigo y Gabriela and Snarky Puppy while turning audiences around the world onto their electrifying live sound.
