Rupa and the April Fishes + Brass Menažeri (Yerba Buena Gardens Festival - SOMA)

Saturday, May 3
1:00 pmto3:00 pm

Rupa & the April Fishes creates fresh music that defies the notion of genre - it is a whimsical magic carpet ride through time and place. Mixing sounds from the Far East, Europe, Latin America and the US, they give an unforgettable multilingual performance with songs in French, Spanish, English, Hindi and Roma that range from raucous to romantic. Rupa’s music is a pastiche of sounds and impressions - undeniably full of heart - with subject matters ranging from love and loss in a time of uncertainty to stories of people in transition.

The Brass Menažeri is the Bay Area’s premier Balkan brass band, specializing in the high-energy, sometimes stretchy, always exciting music of Serbian Rom (Gypsy) brass bands, as well as the Greek/Macedonian border region. In the tradition of the great Rom brass bands, the group also exhibits influences from many neighboring and far-flung musics of the world.
