Over the weekend the Marquette Waterfront Festival provided entertainment for myself and hundreds of other Madisonians.
It's rare that I like a band that I'm seeing/hearing for the first time enough to buy their album. That is exactly what happened after I saw Rupa and the April Fishes perform.
The band is based out of San Francisco. Their music is not easy to define; it's a mixed influence of French chanson, Argentinean tango, Gypsy swing, American folk, Latin cumbias, and Indian ragas. But let me tell you, it's quite the experience to dance to this music. In a single song it can go from a tempo that has you jumping like there's no tomorrow, to a slow staggering sway back and forth.
They are definately worth a listen:
