"Delhi 2 Dublin is the perfect mix of bhangra(ic)-celtic synchronicity, it only happens onceand you are hearing it"- Cheb i Sabbah



Vancouver-based Delhi 2 Dublin is a group of five musicians who mash up electronica and world music, keeping it heavy on the Bhangra, Celtic and Dub flavours. Fusing tabla, fiddle, dhol, Punjabi vocals, and electric sitar with scorching electronic beats, the crew takes listeners on a wild ride through global sounds and synchronicities.

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. Since then, D2D has been busy gigging constantly, touring Eastern Canada and California, playing some of Canada's largest festivals (including the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Shambhala, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues) as well as being invited to open the massive Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 2007. They've shared the bill with names like De La Soul, Cheb i Sabbah, and Metric, and have found a cult following in many of British Columbia's smaller communities and towns. Their debut album "Delhi 2 Dublin" reached #3 on the Canadian world music charts and receives consistent airplay from Japan to Eastern Europe to the UK.

Recently, the crew finished putting together their second album "Delhi 2 Dublin Remixed",, choosing some of their favorite producers from around the globe to remix their first album with more bass, more energy, and more funk...
