Rough Trade Essential

The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

Rupa is an Indian vocalist known for her soulful and mesmerizing music. With a unique blend of traditional Indian melodies and contemporary sounds, she has captivated audiences worldwide. Her powerful voice and emotive performances have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Born and raised in India, Rupa's musical journey began at a young age. She was exposed to the rich cultural heritage of Indian classical music, which deeply influenced her style. Over the years, she honed her skills and developed a distinct sound that showcases her versatility as an artist.
Rupa's passion for music shines through in every note she sings. Whether performing on stage or recording in the studio, she brings raw emotion and authenticity to each song. Her lyrics touch upon universal themes of love, longing, and self-discovery, resonating with listeners from all walks of life.

Barely disco and hardly jazz, Rupa Biswas’ 1982 LP is the halfway point between Bollywood and Balearic. Tracked in Calgary’s Living Room Studios with a crack team of Indian and Canadian studio rats alike, Disco Jazz is a perfect fusion of East and West. Sarod and synthesizer intricately weave around one another for 37 transcendent minutes, culminating in the viral hit Aaj Shanibar. Remastered from original analogue source material and issued with permission and blessing of the producers and performers.
