Delhi 2 Dublin - CD out now!

About Me

Delhi 2 Dublin is the new sound of music. Blending east and west, electronic and acoustic, mainstream and underground, the five member D2D crew takes listeners on a wild and borderless trip with their global sounds. The band fuses the traditional sounds of, tabla, dhol, fiddle, and sitar with cutting edge DJ aesthetics, to create a highly charged multi-cultural dance celebration. Originally formed for a one-shot performance during Vancouver's Celtic Fest in March of 2006, word of their foot stomping, high energy live set started to spread, and the project took on a life of its own. Recently, D2D was invited to open the massive Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and have since played many of the West Coast Canadian festivals. With the help of global fusion pioneer Adham Shaikh, theyâ€™ve just finished production of their first full length CD.
