Her lyrics – in French, Spanish, English and Hindi -- suggest a world without borders. SF Weekly declared Rupa “an instant cult classic among the smart, idealistic, international set.” Songs from the group debut album Extraordinary Rendition have hit number 1 on iTunes world song chart. Ticket Prices: $25 general admission, $20 students and seniors with ID. Season ticket packages start at $68. Group sales discounts will also be available.
