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 through global sounds and
synchronicities. 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
soon took a life of it's own. Recently, D2D were
invited to open the massive Canada Day celebrations
on Parliament Hill in Ottawa where they collaborated
with Irish and Indian dancers and the National
Circus School. They have since played many of the
West Coast Canadian festivals and are poised to take
the act to a global level.
With the able help of global
fusion pioneer Adamh Shakh, they've just finished
production of their first full length CD. It's
getting steady airplay nationwide on the CBC and
RJ1200 and has been played recently on BBC's Bobby
Friction and Nihal and on Pathaan's Musical
Rickshaw.
