Delhi 2 Dublin

• Off The Grid

BIO

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.

A short history: In 2006, a couple of Punjabi guys walked into an Irish Pub where a hot fiddler was playing. After her set they shared some drinks, some thoughts, and lots of profanity. They became fast friends and decided to walk to a nearby warehouse to check out a DJ playing at an afterhours party. On the way, they noticed a Korean guy busking with his sitar outside of a 99 cent pizza place. Upon buying the sitar dude a slice they decided that he should just come and party with them too. He did. The DJ at the party ended up being pretty decent, so after his gig the group of four invited him to go eat. He went. The food was okay, the service sucked, and the rest is history.

The five of them constantly find themselves piling into vans filled with gear or tiny airplane seats and traipsing around the globe mashing beats and breaking strings - and basically having the time of their lives doing it.
