September 30th, 2009 – San Francisco’s global agit-pop group Rupa & the April Fishes will perform select shows throughout the US, Canada and Mexico this fall in support of their forthcoming album este mundo, due out on Cumbancha Oct. 27. The tour includes performances at The Mezzanine in San Francisco, The Mint in Los Angeles and The Bellhouse in Brooklyn among other cities.

Described as “one of the hottest emerging acts” by Time Out, Rupa & the April Fishes mix in elements of Gypsy swing, Colombian cumbia, French chanson and Indian ragas for a sound that effortlessly blurs the boundaries of genre and geography.

Over the past year, the group has brought their infectious live show to adoring crowds at NY’s Central Park Summer Stage, the Montreal Jazz Festival, San Francisco’s Outside Lands and Stern Grove festivals, not to mention dozens of Europe’s most prestigious festivals and venues. The group has been compared to Gogol Bordello, Manu Chao, Beirut and other boundary-breaking genrestraddlers.

While in New York, the band will participate in the second installment of the adventurous music series, “Is America part of the World?” Part II of this series will also feature the band Nation Beat and will take place at The Bell House in Brooklyn on November 13. This series aims to challenge the way we think about “American” and “World” music with artists that are home-bred and worldtraveled.

Rupa & The April Fishes will also present ¡Catapulta! at The Brava Theater in San Francisco on October 9 & 10. This unique concert and multidisciplinary event was put together to help dispel fears among immigrants about public health options.
