SUMMARY:OKAN at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival (A2SF) and Top of the Park
DESCRIPTION:OKAN brings their passionate Afro-Cuban jazz to an A2SF stage this summer! Fusing their 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 Cuban-born violinist and vocalist Elizabeth Rodriguez and percussionist and vocalist Magdelys Savigne\, both Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominees. Building on their Juno-winning sophomore Espiral (2020) and Juno-nominated debut Sombras (2019)\, their most recent release Okantomi\, winner of a 2024 Juno Award\, passionately advocates for freedom of expression\, queer rights\, and gender equality through what CBC Music calls “joy as a form of resistance.” Charged with the profound power of their ancestry\, OKAN alchemizes Lacumi chants and Santeria rhythms with virtuosic jazz\, classical performances\, and indie-pop hooks to connect with audiences on a deep emotional level. Don’t miss their mesmerizing harmonies and virtuosic musicianship at Top of the Park! \nThis event is partially funded by and Arts and Humanities Grant.
