San Francisco based Rupa and her band effortlessly blur the boundaries of genre and geography to create a sound Time Out has called "global agit-pop". Parisian vocals, Klezmer jingles, Gypsy swing, Indian ragas and Mexican brass all get their dues - but there's more as she intertwines political and social commentary.
Rupa herself is a practising doctor by day and a professional musician by night, thus she is regularly exposed to the fragility of life, resilience and randomness.
According to lead singer Rupa Marya: "Este Mundo is a collection of sounds and songs highlighting life's accidental beauty and surging joy as well as their inexorable partner: human suffering."
Este Mundo is a rare find indeed.
