See OKAN Live at the Song Sparrow Hall this Spring! OKAN is a Juno award-winning Afro-Cuban roots and jazz band featuring stunning vocal harmonies and a powerful jazz foundation. The women-led ensemble explores musical forms of Santeria alongside Cuban popular genres.

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

“OKAN‘s vocal- and percussion-driven tracks evoke their homeland yet also reflect the vibrant Cuban-Canadian community.” — NOW Magazine

“Espiral, the astonishing followup to their Juno-nominated 2019 debut, push[es] Latin jazz into new and unexpected territories…Espiral is lush and vibrant, urgent but specific and deeply intentional. — CBC Music

Catch BARRACUDA live at the Song Sparrow Hall in May! BARRACUDA hails from Vancouver, BC, Canada, the city where Ann & Nancy Wilson originally formed the amazing legacy of the band HEART. Barracuda performs the music of HEART with style, presence, and a true passion for the songs that have become beloved classics to fans worldwide. This is their only BC Interior show and an added feature will be a selection of early songs from Led Zeppelin who were strong influences on HEART when they were forming in Vancouver.

Roger Fisher, Guitarist and founding member of HEART has officially endorsed BARRACUDA. Roger has also joined the band on stage for numerous performances, creating a truly authentic experience for HEART fans.

“I have had the pleasure and honour of working with “BARRACUDA – The Essential Tribute to HEART” for the past 6 years. They have sold out all their performances at Blue Frog Concert Hall / Studios. They are the closest rendition to Hearts inaugural lineup back in the early 1970’s. D.L. Car is the second coming of “Ann Wilson”. Looking forward to having them return.” – Kelly Breaks, Blue Frog Studios, White Rock BC
