Live on the Patio: OKAN featuring Eliana Cuevas

Aug 28 FREE Entry

Doors open at 5PM

Music starts at 6PM

With the word OKAN signifying “heart" in the Afro Cuban religion of Santeria, this powerful women-led ensemble shares the soul of contemporary Cuban roots music. Infusing Afro-Cuban traditions with jazz influences, global rhythms and classical forms, OKAN’s powerful vocals, incredible musicianship and potent lyrical content contribute to the evolution of Cuban music outside Cuba. Embracing musical genres and roles that have historically been dominated by men, co-leaders, composers and multi-instrumentalists Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne are Grammy and JUNO-nominated for their contributions to Jane Bunnett & Maqueque and The Battle of Santiago.

Presented in Partnership with Lula Lounge

Live on the Patio at Roy Thomson Hall presented by TD, supported in part by Canadian Heritage, official beer partner Ace Hill Beer
