    SF-based border crossing musical agitators Rupa & the April Fishes will launch their US/European April 2011 Tour with this special benefit for Voice of Roma, a group that helps Roma (known in popular culture by the slur "Gypsies") who are struggling against increasing racist policies throughout Europe. Rupa & the April Fishes have been lighting fires on stages around the world since 2006 with their raucous polyglot style, and will be presenting new songs with old favorites in this April Fools Day Concert. Come hear the sound of a world brought together by the sheer insistence of a more hopeful and awake existence...Together with Romani musicians Rumen Shopov and the Sound of the Mahala and SF's Balkan Party Master DJ Zeljko. Also performing: Blue Hippopotamus and April Mae & the June Bugs.
