Taking their name from the word for heart in the Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria, OKAN is a Juno-Award-winning women-led ensemble that fuses Afro-Cuban roots with jazz, folk, and global rhythms in songs about immigration, courage, and love. On Sunday, May 26 at 1:00 p.m. we welcome OKAN to the stage and speak to Magdelys Savigne and Elizabeth Rodriguez. One of the largest FREE jazz festivals in the country, the Atlanta Jazz Festival is an annual celebration of culture, community, and our love of jazz. The festival returns to Piedmont Park, in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, from Saturday, May 25 through Monday, May 27 from 11 am to 11 pm daily. The mission of the Atlanta Jazz Festival is to educate and entertain a diverse audience of jazz fans and to nurture the next generation of jazz musicians.
