Plus Qui Moi - Rupa & the April Fishes

Play

rupa and fishes.jpg

Here's something I'd like to see more of: A fun local band with enough of a draw to headline a local club twice in one night -- and the second show only costs $5.

This is the kind of thing you can get away with in jazz clubs like Yoshi's -- even if the band isn't a jazz combo. Rupa & the April Fishes usually get classified as "world music," which is a term people find offensive these days. I don't care, especially since Rupa takes in more of the world than most, shifting from French hot jazz to Balkan Gypsy funk to Mexican traditionals on the SF sextet's debut CD, eXtraOrdinary Rendition. And I'm always impressed when someone can communicate a song's theme without me understanding a single word she's saying. Plus, Rupa & the April Fishes are more fluid than a contortionist on absinthe (and twice as hot).

 

Rupa & the April Fishes @ Yoshi's SF on Wednesday, October 22; doors 8 and 10 p.m., first show $16, second $5.
