OKAN in the Atrium of Lincoln Center
The Afro-Cuban group OKAN, led by singer-songwriters Elizabeth Rodríguez on violin and Magdelys Savigne on percussion, will be performing this Friday, April 5 at the Atrium of Lincoln Center (61 W 62nd St). This group’s upbeat music doesn’t fit into a single musical category—its boisterous drums, catchy hooks, and Spanish lyrics suggest it could be considered part of the “alterlatino” genre—but its richly produced scores and penchant for high-flying improvisation evoke jazz fusion. At 7:30 pm. Free. Information: https://www.lincolncenter.org.
