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, ranging from reggae to drum and bass, 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 and touring constantly, playing some of Canada's largest festivals as well as being invited to open the massive Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 2007. Their debut album "Delhi 2 Dublin" reached 3 on the Canadian world music charts and has received airplay all over the world.
Recently, the crew has just finished putting together their second album "Delhi 2 Dublin - Remixed". This time, D2D chose some of their favorite producers from around the globe to remix their first album but with more bass, more energy, more funk... and more dance floor bliss!
So glad you like. Invite you to leave comments on any in particular. These are not really worked in photoshop. I will do the ones you like to sharpen them up... Looking forward to the next show...
A great show! Look forward to see you all again soon. Perhaps in Vancouver. Here are some shots from the show. Many more on site. Video card down so I am only doing minimal processing to them. Will fix some more of them up better. If you like leave a comment.
That was a great set at Bread & Circus for NXNE in Toronto. I randomly popped-in, and the performance was probably one of the best I've seen for the whole festival. A high-octane boot-stomping good time.
