Rupa and the April Fishes have a new album on Cumbancha called “Extraordinary Rendition” that hits on a whole bunch of international vibes, from the French vocals to the Latin fusion.
The San Francisco based group’s latest album utilizes dreamy artwork by muralist Mona Caron, smooth basslines by jazz bassist Marcus Shelby, and a whole host of found sounds from live performances the band has played. The group also has a pretty extensive tour in progress, which will place them (to name a few) in the U.S., Canada, France, England, Spain, and Sweden. The San Francisco Guardian called them a “shining embodiment of globalization-gone-good,” which I whole heartily agree with.
