Description
Rupa Marya calls her style "intentionally unclean." Beyond that, it's difficult to explain. Cooler and crazier than useless phrases like "world music" could hope to describe, her San Francisco-based band Rupa and the April Fishes takes gypsy jazz on a punky, border-crashing joy ride that sprawls across multiple styles, cultures and languages. Of Indian descent, born in California with an international upbringing, Marya takes the influences she's absorbed and makes a particularly intense brand of dance music.
