Mix of Gypsy swing, Columbian cumbia, French chanson with a pop attitude. Local band, 2nd CD, Rupa, a Medical doctor in SF brings a sexy voice together with great lyrics, and musicians for a great cabaret sound. All tracks are great.

****11: 5:44 slow tabla, flute intro then fast Klezmer/Balkan sound, vocal in French, bandoneon, Great sound, slows at 4:00 then fast again.
