Delhi 2 Dublin discovered itself by accident when a collective of DJs, Beats Without Borders, was asked to play at Vancouver’s Celtic fest in 2006. “None of us had any Celtic stuff,” recalls Tarun Nayar, the lead tabla player. “We thought, ‘Let’s start making some Celtic electronica.’ Myself and Adrian Blackhurst got in touch with some fiddle players and then decided to contact Sanjay Seran from Signia, to overlay some bhangra vocals.
“We had never practised together before the gig and we had come up with only two songs. When we performed the two Celtic-Punjabi fusion songs, the crowd went nuts, the electricity was pulsating.” Since then, the band has evolved into a steady group of five: Nayar, Seran, Ravi Binning, Andrew Kim and Kytami.
