Vancouver’s Delhi 2 Dublin started as a happy accident when the then programmer of Vancouver’s Celtic Festival asked Beats Without Borders DJ Tarun Nayar to “put something together.” Demand mushroomed from there. 6 years and 3 records later, the band regularly tours the world and these musicians (brought together for a one-off show) are able to make a living off this music.

I know what you are thinking: mixing celtic and bhangra music styles doesn’t seem to make much sense, but when you see the band live they put on a surprisingly compelling show.

I caught D2D lead Sanjay at soundcheck and we talk about about mixing this strange musical brew and more. Listen to our chat!
