#urgntlive

Taking their name from the word for heart or soul in the Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria, OKAN fuses Afro-Cuban and other global rhythms with jazz, folk and classical forms.
OKAN was co-presented by Sunfest - sunfest.on.ca

About URGNT:
URGNT LIVE is a Toronto-based online venue. What started as livestream series in empty venues created in response to the COVID-19 outbreak has quickly adapted to promote social distancing and create a curated platform to present and support the best of the city's musicians. Our goals are:
- to unify the arts industry in Toronto in a safe and creative way;
- to raise money to pay a nominal fee to all involved parties to help with lost gigs and wages as a result of the quarantine;
- to document and catalogue this unique period in history; and
- to make compelling content available to audiences when they need it most.
Urgent times call for urgent creativity. Our artists will lead the way.
The videos are free to watch at urgnt.ca or at the URGNT or Maclean's facebook pages, but the project is not. To pay your cover charge to support the economy of culture, go to our gofundme page at gf.me/u/xravta
