Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rupa & the April Fishes create music that defies easy categorization. Their debut album, eXtraOrdinary rendition, echoes with influences of classic French chanson, Argentinean tango, Gypsy swing, American folk, Latin cumbias, and even hints of Indian ragas. Rupa has parents originating from the Pundjab reagion in India, was born in the US and has grown up in India, the South of France and lived in South America before settling in San Francisco. The appeal of her charming, energetic and intelligent songs stretches far beyond the traditional world music audience.
