Delhi 2 Dublin (sometimes abbreviated D2D) is a Canadian world music group formed in 2006 in Vancouver who play a fusion of Bhangra, Electronic, Funk, Dub Reggae, Hip Hop, Celtic music and a mash up of other genres. ==History== Delhi 2 Dublin was formed for a performance at the Vancouver Celtic Festival on 16 March 2006. The event was called 'Delhi to Dublin', which the group then took as their name. Founding members were Tarun Nayar (of Beats Without Borders cred), Sanjay Seran (at the time hailing from live bhangra act Signia), violinist Kytami, the late fiddle player Oliver Shroer and Adrian Blackhurst (also of Beats Without Borders). () Their music was well received, and they began to play various venues, block parties, and festivals around Vancouver. Within their first few months, their lineup solidified to Tarun Nayar (tabla, electronics), Sanjay Seran (vocals), Kytami (violin), and new members Andrew Kim (sitar, guitar) and Ravi Binning (dhol). Their first big break was opening the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on 1 July 2007. The crowd was estimated at 150,000 and the show was broadcast live on national TV. At that point they had written only 3 songs. () Since 2008 their touring has grown from mostly Canadian dates to a growing US and international presence. Their first tour outside North America was in Taiwan in August 2009.() They have since played in Dubai, Brunei, Indonesia (Bali Spirit Festival), Australia (Woodford Folk Festival), Germany (Popkomm), UK (Shambala, Sunfest, Edinburgh Mela), Ireland, and Malaysia (MURfest); while continuing to play larger North American festivals such as Electric Forest (MI), Shambhala (BC), Calgary Folk Festival (AB) and the Santa Cruz Music Festival (CA). Their largest market is now California. Their Delhi 2 Dublin debut album, released 13 December 2007, reached #3 on the Canadian world music charts,() and was heard on the radio from Japan, across North America and Europe. It continues to be on the top 100 iTunes world music albums in Canada, 8 years later. In November 2008 they released their second album, Delhi 2 Dublin Remixed, consisting of remixes of songs from their first album, and reached #1 on the CHARTattack world music charts() Their third album, Planet Electric, charted third on the Canadian world music charts.() The band kept this pace, producing a new album bi-annually and a remix album alternating years.

Jaron Freeman-Fox continues being a featured guest at select shows, along with former member Andrew Kim. The latest studio album, "We're All Desi", was released on Sept 18, 2015 on Westwood Recordings.() Inspired by their favourite Bollywood records of the 70s and their love of bass music, D2D teamed up with producer Nick Middleton (of The Funk Hunters) to create what they believe is their strongest offering yet.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Delhi 2 Dublin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
