Although the band, Delhi 2 Dublin, is based in Vancouver, Canada, the heritage of the founding members - Tarun Nayar and Sanjay Saren - originates in Punjab - India, when their forefathers migrated to Canada in the early 20th century. Their sound represents an evolution of their Punjabi roots mixed with their present day Canadian traditions.
This episode is about their journey back into India, whilst bringing their special brand of global desi sounds which has evolved overseas, and finally reaching back to India, and collaborating with a folk singer from Punjab - Jeetu (Jatinder Singh), where he presents a special style of semi-classical vocal music, sung mostly by songstresses, known as baigees, in royal courts of Punjab.

Delhi2Dublin
---------------------
Since first coming together in 2006, Delhi 2 Dublin founding members Tarun Nayar, Sanjay Seran and Ravi Binning have followed a unique path, often incorporating the distinct sounds of tabla and dhol into the electronic pulse of warehouse raves. The Vancouver-based electronic ensemble has developed its own decisive genre they refer to as "Subcontinental Pop,” bringing their South Asian influences into the world of Western pop music. And now, with the release of their new single, “Home (Everywhere I Go),” and forthcoming album, We Got This, Delhi 2 Dublin is poised to take their sound from the main stage to mainstream radio.
As might be expected with a spontaneously generated act, some skilled musicians have rotated in and out over the years. But the three core founding members have always remained and followed their own paths from that fateful first gig. Originally from Montreal, Tarun Nayar studied classical tabla from childhood with a seriousness that would eventually lead him to spend long periods of time studying with mentors in India. While Indian classical music is generally performed in concert halls, Tarun moved to East Vancouver in his early 20s and found his way into its frenzied rave scene and began to envision the tabla’s possibilities in warehouse raves. He co-founded Beats Without Borders, one of the first Canadian West Coast electronic outfits to throw big parties that incorporated various non-Western musical styles and traditions.
