About Okan

Taking their name from the word for heart in the Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria, the women-led ensemble OKAN fuses Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, folk and global rhythms in songs about immigration, courage and love.

Embracing genres that have not historically fostered women artists outside of the role of singer, OKAN co-leaders, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Magdelys Savigne bring a fresh perspective to Latin and world jazz fusion through their powerful harmonies, incredible musicianship and potent lyrical content.

About Fawziyya Heart

Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify

Fawziyya was born and raised in the heart of Philadelphia. She has been heavily influenced by the Philly music scene that has been changing more and more over the years. Building long lasting musical relationships on the scene and a pure love of music is what keeps her going everyday. Her deepest inspirations are Nina Simone and Erykah Badu, and this is reflected in her music: a funk-infused blend of jazz, blues, and soul with anthemic lyrics calling for social change and self-transformation.
