Elizabeth Rodriguez of OKAN: Compelling Afro-Cuban Sounds From Canada
Toronto's OKAN blends Afro-Cuban roots with jazz and much more. They're led by two gifted Cuban emigre musicians, both veterans of Canadian woodwind player Jane Bunnett's award-winning all-female Latin Jazz band Maqueque.
Violinist / vocalist / co-leader Elizabeth Rodriguez joins us to introduce OKAN's latest album Espiral, and preview their streaming show, presented by Flushing Town Hall on Friday May 14 at 7 pm (New York time).

We were shocked to have done it but also really relieved and happy after having had a dinner at our friends' place, chresti -- and not just because the roti place in their neighborhood is so good!
