Zip, Boom, Bonjour!!!
Rupa and the April Fishes "Une Americaine a Paris" is one of my absolute favorite videos and songs right now. I've known about them for awhile, and enjoyed them, but just can't get enough.
They have several other songs which I highly recommend. Right now, if you read this around the date of posting, you will find all three on my current playlist. No guarantees for the future, but for now, they are there. The songs are:
Les Abeilles
C'est Moi
La Pecheuse
I cannot get enough of the dusky French nightclub sound that they have, and they are stellar for listening to at midnight...or 1 a.m. as the case is today.
The write up is as follows (as cut and pasted from YouTube directly):
Born to Indian parents in California, raised in the US, India and southern France, and leading a double life as a musician and a doctor, singer/guitarist/composer Rupa Marya and her polyglot band of musical renegades have taken the San Francisco Bay Area by storm and are poised to bring their music to the world with the international release of eXtraOrdinary rendition on Cumbancha. With their enchanting mix of chic French nouvelle vague, rousing Latin alternative grooves, energetic Gypsy swing, and dreamy Indian ragas, the trend-setting band is spearheading a multicultural movement that is redefining the sound of contemporary music.
You can't help but move it, shake it, or tap your foot to it...whether you speak French or not (and I do--mais seulement un petit peu) you can get a funky little groove going with it.
Anyway--LOVE HER...give it a listen.
Turn it up, and feel it.
Lalala-lai, lalala-lai, la-lai.
Somebody Else's Picture...credit to them, whomever they may be.
How I feel after throwing a party...
