Rupa and The April Fishes

When I say I like all types of music I really mean it.  You can find me listening to Miles Davis and catch me singing along to ABBA all in the same day.  Yep.  That’s me. I’m always on the hunt for new music so when I stumbled upon Rupa & The April Fishes, I was delighted beyond words.  The name of the group was the first to hit me.  I was like…what in the world… does that mean and what are they all about? 

This group is led by a young woman of Indian heritage.  Her name is Rupa.  By the way, she is also a doctor. You go girl! She grew up in the Bay Area and her nomadic upbringing led her to explore issues of identity, life and love.  She is for lack of another word, other worldly.  Talk about someone who is authentic to all that she is.  She sings in French and Spanish among other languages and her music has elements of French chanson, Argentinean tango, Gypsy swing, American folk, Latin cumbias, and even Indian ragas. Her debut album, eXtraOrdinary rendition is one to explore.
