Okan (band)

Okan is a Canadian Afro-Cuban jazz group, whose core members are Cuban Canadian musicians Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne.^[1] They are most noted for their 2020 album Espiral, which won the Juno Award for World Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2021,^[2] and their 2023 album Okantomi, which won the same award at the Juno Awards of 2024.^[3]

They were previously nominated in the same category at the Juno Awards of 2020 for their 2019 debut album Sombras.^[4]

Rodriguez and Savigne are both former members of Jane Bunnett's band Maqueque, who left that band in 2017 to form Okan.^[1] They perform both as a duo, and as leaders of a larger combo featuring session musicians.^[1]
