Delhi 2 Dublin
Described as the “United Nations of rock ‘n’ roll”, Delhi 2 Dublin has played top festivals in Canada, the UK, the U.S. and parts of the Pacific Rim and Europe. “The Vancouver-based collective combines dhol, fiddle and breakbeats in an Irish/Asian stew that is surprisingly varied, a marvellously wide-ranging and free-thinking concept.” BBC.
The live D2D shows have launched them as one of Canada’s most buzzed-about bands. After all, where else will you see a kick-ass fiddle player rocking out with a kilt-wearing Korean, flanked by two dancing Bhangra percussionists and a vocalist who looks like he stepped out of a Bollywood music video?
“Imagine the energy and cultural fervor of a huge Indian wedding party colliding with a bunch of drunken Irishmen dancing on a wooden table with fiddles! Delhi 2 Dublin has created their own niche at the intersection of gritty hip hop and electronic beats, traditional Indian influences and that raw Celtic sound that packs a punch – all of which make you want to get up and dance.” — Evolving Music
