Rupa and The April Fishes is a 6 piece band from San Francisco that moves between genre and geography to create a sound Time Out has called "global agit-pop". According to lead singer Rupa, who is also practicing physician, Rupa and the band highlight “life’s accidental beauty and surging joy as well as their inexorable partner: human suffering.” They join us in studio to play from their latest album, Este Mundo.

This band blew me away. My new mission is to find everything they've recorded to date. Including today's show.
Great to hear this wonderful group of people making this beautiful mixture of sounds creating something more than music...
This band gets better and better. Rupa is a very talented songwriter and singer and the band has that wonderful telepathic relationship that comes with playing together often. Very fun to hear them today live on the radio. They are missed here in the SF bay area.
