Rupa Marya performs with The April Fishes

Rupa Marya is a San Francisco doctor. But at night, she swaps her stethoscope for a guitar. She's the lead singer of Rupa & The April Fishes, a multicultural band that sings in English, French, Spanish and Hindi. Marya joins us to play a couple songs with her band, and to talk about her international influences and what shaped the band's latest album, "Build."
