Rupa Marya's bio makes her sound like a female Buckaroo Banzai, updated for the multilingual, multicultural present. Born to Indian parents, raised in part in the south of France, and based in San Francisco, she's a gypsy jazz singer who throws a little Indian raga and puckish punk energy into the mix. She sing sin English and French, and oh yeah, she's a doctor. Her band Rupa & the April Fishes have a new album called Extraordinary Rendition, and they're at the North Star Bar on Saturday.
