Rupa & the April Fishes
Regattabar
The international appeal and feel-good globalism
of San Francisco's
Rupa & the April Fishes would be
annoying if the band weren't so damned good. To wit, lead fish Rupa Marya spent
her childhood traipsing from India
to France to the US - and she
also happens to be a physician. La! But the group's arrangements for acoustic
guitar, cello, accordion, trumpet, acoustic bass, and drums maintain the
individualized folkloric grit and Gypsy dance-floor bomp of their source
material. And multi-lingual Rupa happens to be a dandy singer and songwriter.
They celebrate their new Este Mundo (Cumbancha) at the Regattabar, Charles Hotel, 1 Bennett St, Cambridge
| 7:30 pm | $15 | 617.395.7757 or http://www.regattabarjazz.com.
